Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups sour cherries
4 cups sugar

Directions:
Directions:
Use firm ripe fruit for best flavor. Always thoroughly wash and sanitize jars before use. Use new jar lids. Put clean and pitted cherries in a bowl and mash with a potato masher.
Measure exact amount of sugar; add to fruit. Let stand 10 minutes; stirring occasionally. (Do not reduce the sugar or use sugar substitute since this will result in set failure.)
Stir 1 package of sure jell premium fruit pectin and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. (Pectin may start out lumpy.) Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Add pectin mixture to the fruit/sugar mixture; stir 3 minutes or until sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
Fill all containers immediately, leaving 1/2 inch space at tops for expansion during freezing; cover with lids.
Let stand at room temperature 24 hours or until set. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks. Or, freeze up to 1 year. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before using.
