Canning MOCK Maraschino Cherries! 🍒
Directions:
Pit the cherries.
Add them to warm pint jars.
Fill jars with cherries to 1/4 inch headspace.
Make a simple syrup!
I like to use a light syrup, because I prefer to taste the cherries and avoid them becoming too sweet, but that’s up to you!
Light Simple Syrup:
Boil 5 1/2 cups water + 1 1/4 cups sugar till sugar dissolves. This makes 6 cups of syrup.
Add the syrup to the jars full of cherries to a 1/4 inch headspace.
It’s ok if the syrup isn’t covering all the cherries. The cherries will cook down while canning.
Add 1/2 tsp almond extract to each jar. This is what gives them that Maraschino Cherry Vibe!
Canning Directions:
Wipe rims with white vinegar. Add flats and rings finger tight.
Water bath or steam can your jars for 20 minutes!
Let them seal, clean the jars and allow them to sit for at least one week before consuming. This allows them to take on their flavor!
