Tip it out of the jars and re-boil and test for setting point again. Don't forget to re-sterilise the jars before re-potting.

Ripe dessert (sweet) cherries are low in pectin and it can be difficult to get a good set. You could use them but, if when testing for pectin it is insufficient, add pectin stock along with the sugar. Alternatively use jam sugar (the one with the pectin added).

If you are going to take more than a couple of weeks to eat an opened jar of jam, or in warm weather, store in the refrigerator.
