My Granddaughter Samantha loves the cherry jam her “Baba” makes (that’s Slovak for “Gramma”). My jam is just a little bit tart, a little bit sweet. The secret is the fruit — and my dentist. His wife brings me lovely frozen cherries direct from Door County. After winning hundreds of State Fair ribbons since 1981, it’s a thrill to be a Gedney Jam Lady for a second time. It means I haven’t lost my touch yet! Try my cherry jam on your breakfast toast, see if you agree.
