Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. a pint of water
  2. a pound of sugar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Cherries may be preserved either with or without stones.
  2. Many think the stones give a richer flavor.
  3. To each pound of cherries allow one third of a pound of sugar.
  4. Put the sugar in the kettle with half a pint of water to three pounds of sugar.
  5. Stir it until it is dissolved.
  6. When boiling, add the cherries, and cook three minutes;
  7. then put in the jars.
