Steps:
- Inspect 5 cup-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- Wash and pit the cherries. Chop them finely. You should have about 5 cups. Place cherries in a large saucepan and slowly bring to a boil over low-medium heat. Stir in pectin and slowly bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil on high heat and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with a ladle or a large spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in amaretto liqueur.
- Ladle sour cherry jam into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

AMARETTO SOUR
Jeffrey Morgenthaler, the bar manager of Pépé Le Moko and Clyde Common in Portland, Ore., enjoyed amaretto sours as a young man. As a bartender, he embarked on a project to make a better version of this often-mocked drink, which was typically composed of just amaretto and sour mix. He boosted the alcoholic strength by mixing in nearly a full ounce of overproof bourbon, replaced the sour mix with real lemon juice and added an egg white - a common ingredient in many sour recipes from the past. Given all the alterations, he might have given the cocktail a new name, but decided against that. "There wouldn't have been any point," he said. "There's a big difference between if I took this drink and made it good, and if I invented a new drink with amaretto. The latter wouldn't have the same gravitas."

Steps:
- In a shaker add the ingredients along with ice and shake well.

Tips:
- For a classic Amaretto Sour, use equal parts amaretto, lemon juice, and simple syrup. You can adjust the proportions to taste.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, add a little extra to compensate for the lack of fresh flavor.
- If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water.
- Amaretto Sour can be served with or without egg white. Egg white adds a frothy texture and a slightly sour flavor. If you choose to use egg white, make sure it is fresh and at room temperature.
- Garnish your Amaretto Sour with a lemon twist, a cherry, or both.
Conclusion:
The Amaretto Sour is a classic cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. With its sweet and sour flavor, the Amaretto Sour is sure to please everyone.
