Ingredients - Preparation Method:

3 pounds sour cherries -- 4 cups fruit` 7 cups sugar 6 ounces liquid fruit pectin 2 drops almond extract -- optional Wash, stem, and pit cherries. Chop fine in a food processor or blender. Measure fruit into a very large saucepan; add sugar and mix well. Place over high heat; bring to a full rolling boil; boil hard 1 minute. Remove from heat; immediately stir in pectin. Skim off foam with a metal spoon; continue to stir and skim for 5 minutes. This will cool the mixture slightly and will help to prevent fruit from floating. Add optional almond extract. Ladle at once into hot, sterilized jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace; wipe rims and adjust lids. Process in a boiling water bath 5 minutes. Makes 4 to 5 pints. Source: Miriam B.
