It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Get ready to jar up some joy with this cherry Christmas jam. It's a sweet, tangy, and utterly festive addition to your holiday table or as a thoughtful homemade gift.

2 cans (14.5 ounce size) pitted tart red cherries in water, drained
6 cups sugar
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 pouches (3 ounce size) liquid fruit pectin
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon red liquid food coloring
Process cherries in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
In a heavy Dutch oven, combine cherries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stirring constantly over high heat, bring mixture to a rolling boil. Stir in liquid pectin.
Stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil again and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off foam. Stir in almond extract and food coloring.
Spoon jam into heat resistant jars. Cover and cool to room temperature. Store in refrigerator.
