Canning Cherries
The same procedure is used for canning any cherries.  Cherries should always be
chosen very carefully.  A cherry should not be canned if it has ANY imperfection.  
Cherries should also be submersed in water in small batches. Any that float may
contain worms and should be thrown out. Make sure to visit our recipes page for
cherry canning recipes!
1.  Pit the cherries using a good
cherry pitter.  This is indispensable
for any cherry dish.  

We recommend pitting cherries
inside a bowl
to limit splattering and facilitate
cleaning up.
 2.  Cold pack cherries as done for
canning.
3. Add any other fruits to be
packed with the cherries.  In this
instance we are adding orange
slices.
 4. Pour hot liquid from referral
recipe over cherries then seal and
sterilize.
