Finally Done with the Cherry Chores

When you pick cherries from trees, it doesn't look like much. But when we got them home I realized we have LOTS of cherries.









I bought a dehydrator and started drying them in the form of cut up cherries and fruit leather. We also have two tubs of frozen pie cherries (frozen in sugar water 1 cup to 8 cups ratio).




I made jam after I watched Scott's sister work her magic with pectin and a little bit of sugar, but I don't think mine set up. I bought brandy and used it to fill the gaps in a jar of pitted cherries.


Cherries everywhere.
