3 1/2 cups cherry juice (Cherry Juicy Juice works fine) 4 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 box pectin 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract (I used a little extra )
Bring 1 cup cherry juice, vanilla and almond extract to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Add remaining juice and pectin and return to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Add sugar and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Pour up in jars, seal, and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.
Yield: 5 cups
If you like maraschino cherries, you'll love this super easy recipe. Am going to plant cherry trees so I'll have my own juice, but until then . . . . . . .
