Sour-Cherry Preserves image

Simmering sour cherries with just enough sugar to balance their tartness is a simple way to make the fruit last. Store preserves in the refrigerator and stir them into yogurt or vanilla ice cream for a splash of summer.

Time 9h40m

Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds fresh sour cherries, rinsed, drained, and pitted (7 1/2 cups)
3 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a nonreactive bowl, combine all ingredients. Let stand, stirring often, until fruit has begun to macerate, 1 hour. Place a parchment round directly over surface and refrigerate, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Remove from refrigerator and let stand, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Strain mixture through a medium-mesh sieve, reserving solids. Place juices in a pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim any impurities from surface, reduce heat to medium, and cook, skimming occasionally, until reduced by half and very syrupy, 16 to 18 minutes. Stir in reserved cherry solids. Return to a simmer and cook, gently stirring occasionally, until fruit is plump and just beginning to soften, about 3 minutes more. Let cool slightly, then transfer to jars. Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate up to 1 month or try canning with our helpful instructions.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my preserves turned out too thick. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These preserves are a bit tart for my taste, but they're still very good. I think I'll try adding a little more sugar next time.

I've been making sour cherry preserves for years, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of the almond extract really takes them to the next level.

These preserves are a great way to use up leftover sour cherries. I had a bunch that were about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did, because they turned out so well.

These sour cherry preserves are simply divine! The perfect balance of tart and sweet, with a beautiful deep red color. I used them on my morning toast and they were the perfect complement to my coffee.
