6 pounds sweet cherries (Bing or Royal Anne)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
½ cup lemon juice
1 ¼ cups brandy, rum, or sloe gin
Directions:
Directions:
Rinse the cherries under cold running water; drain. Stem and pit the cherries.

Combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to a simmer (180°F). Add the cherries and simmer until they are hot throughout. Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the brandy, rum, or sloe gin.

Pack the hot cherries into a hot jar, leaving ½-inch headspace. Ladle the hot syrup over the cherries, leaving ½-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe the jar rim. Center the lid on the jar. Apply the band and adjust to fingertip-tight. Place the jar on the rack elevated over simmering water (180°F) in the boiling water canner. Repeat until all the jars are filled.

Lower the rack into simmering water. Water must cover jars by 1-inch. Adjust heat to medium-high, cover the canner, and bring the water to a rolling boil.

Process the jars 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Turn off heat; remove the lid, and let the jars stand 5 minutes. Remove the jars and cool.
