We worked all weekend to put up cherries. First, here’s our recipe. Afterwards, our step-by-step photos and this year’s haul (23 pounds in one picking!)

Our original recipe is here: Sour Cherry Preserves.
A few numbers for you:
3 1/2 hours to pick. (Greg did nearly all of it).
It took us 7 man-hours to pit: 4 total, and Greg worked 1/2 hour longer than I did.
For the preserves:
23 pounds pre pitted
19 cups sugar
13 ounces lemon juice
