Preparation

Step 1

Wash the cherries and remove the stems. Place them in a large pot and crush them. Do not remove the pits. Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain cherries and all the liquid through a jelly bag.

Measure 3 1/2 cups juice and combine with pectin in a saucepan. Bring to a hard boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Immediately add sugar and return to a full, rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and skim off foam with a metal spoon. Pour at once into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headroom, and seal with sterilized lids according to manufacturer¹s directions.

This recipe yields about 5 half-pint jars.
