Method:
Wash cherries, dry, put in pan with sufficient water to cover.

Boil until tender. Strain through muslin (the stones come to the top when cooking).

Measure juice, add 1 cup warm sugar to 1 cup juice; the juice of 1 large lemon to the whole and boil quickly till it jells, when tested on a chilled saucer.

Pour into hot, sterilised jars and seal.

The colour is beautiful and is delicious on scones with cream on top. This recipe can also work with Acerola Cherries.
