CHERRY JELLY

Steps:

• TO MAKE JUICE:
• Select fully ripe cherries.
• Softly wash. Remove stems. Do not pit!
• In large pot, crush cherries (I use a potato masher.).
• Add 1 cup water to crushed cherries.
• Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Strain juice through a jelly bag or cheesecloth. (I use a fine mesh "sifter" lined with a coffee filter.).
• Toss pits, pulp, and peels.
• TO MAKE JELLY:
• Measure 3 1/2 cups juice into large pot.
• Add pectin and stir.
• Place on high heat and stir constantly.
• Bring to a full rolling boil (that can't be stirred down).
• Add sugar, continue stirring and bring to a full rolling boil once more.
• Boil hard for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat.
• Skim off foam.
• Ladle into hot jelly jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Apply lids and rings.
• Process in hot water bath for 5 minutes.
• Note: I used 1 gallon of cherries and had a little more than 3 1/2 cups juice. Of course, it also depends on the quality of the fruit.

EASY ORANGE CHERRY MARMALADE

Steps:

• Drain and chop cherries, set aside.
• In a saucepan over LOW heat, combine all other ingredients.
• Heat gently until mixture comes to a boil, approximately 10 - 15 minutes.
• Stir in cherries; return to boil, then remove from heat and pour into prepared jars.
• If your jars do not seal, store in refrigerator.
• Note: If marmalade is too thick to pour over cream cheese, heat gently in saucepan or microwave.

PEACH ORANGE JAM

Steps:

• Run peaches through a chopper. I think that you would blanch, peel and pit the peaches before running them through chopper.
• Run all oranges through chopper, using rind of one orange. (just the zest; the whole rind will make it bitter; other recipes are using zest from all the oranges; you judge).
• Add cherry juice to the peaches, oranges, and sugar.
• Cook, stirring constantly, I am guessing this will burn easily.
• Cook until thick.
• When nearly done, add chopped cherries.
• Bring to a boil.
• Put in small jar and cover with paraffin wax (I said this was old recipe).
• Another recipe had you water bathing for 10 minutes to seal; check Ball book.
