Cherries in Their Own Juice for Winter
Description
A simple way to put some up for later. This is a fairly classic recipe for cherries in their own juice for winter—a great option for berry lovers and baking with them. Minimal sugar and a very rich cherry flavor—you'll lick your fingers. 1. First, wash the jars and let the excess water drain off. 2. Put the cherries in a deep bowl and remove the stems. 3. It's very important to sort through the berries so no spoiled or wormy ones get in. Then wash them thoroughly under running water. 4. Pour the cherries into a prepared clean jar. On average, the amount given yields a one-liter jar, though it all depends on berry size. 5. Sprinkle sugar on top. The amount can vary too, depending on how sweet the cherries are and your taste preferences. 6. After that, sterilize the jar for about 8–10 minutes. 7. That's almost the entire simple recipe for cherries in their own juice for winter. All that's left is to seal the jars and leave them until completely cooled upside down. Covering them is optional. Once fully cooled, you can store the jar in a dark, cool place where it will wait for its moment.
