Ingredients
- 4 pint jars
- 4 cups fresh or frozen sour cherries (pitted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- Red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Sterilize your jars in boiling water and then place them in a warm oven that is set to 215° while you make the filling, or at least a minimum of 15 minutes.
- Add the pitted cherries, sugar, and cornstarch to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and thickens, stirring constantly. Once nice and thick, remove from the heat and stir in almond extract, lemon juice, and butter. If you want a bright red filling, add red food coloring until it is the desired level of red.
- Fill the warm jars with hot pie filling, being sure to only fill to the bottom rung of the mouth of the jar. If you overfill it, it will explode!
- Screw the lids on tight and process jars in a hot water bath for 20 minutes. Remove from the water and let cool.
