Notes
- It's best to use sour cherries for this recipe. If using sweet cherries, reduce the sugar and increase the lemon juice, to taste.
- Use a cherry pitter to speed up the pitting process.
- Use Clear Jel, a modified cornstarch, instead of cornstarch, if canning.
- If you don't want to can this cherry pie filling, it lasts 2-3 days or freeze it up to 1 year.
- If you are not canning, the clear jel can be substituted with cornstarch.
- Use proper canning techniques, if canning, to make the product shelf stable.
