The Chew: Cherry Jam + Chocolate Peanut Butter Recipe

The Chew: Cherry Jam + Chocolate Peanut Butter

With the entire audience dressed in white, the co-hosts of The Chew celebrated their Jingle Bell Jam episode. Carla Hall kicked things off with her homemade Cherry Jam and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
