BC Cherries that is! We ate so many cherries this year and they were so good that we decided that the best way to have some on hand for the winter was to can them. Neither one of us had ever canned cherries before (this was the first time I have canned anything). A very simple process actually with the most difficult task being the pitting of the cherries. We purchased a cherry pitter for approx. $10.00 at Save On Foods however it didn’t work at all. Back to a paring knife for slicing the cherry in half around the pitt, a quick twist, half of the cherry comes clean the other half is picked out. Much quicker than a “cherry pitter”! Plop the cherries into the jars, fill with a sugar and water solution, seal and water bath in a canner. Voila! Canned BC Cherries!

Got the A ok from my brother that they are very tasty and a big OK from our friend Pierre whom I made a cherry pie for from these cherries. It’s great having time to try new things.
