How to Make B C Cherry And Raspberry Preserves

  1. Stem and pit 4 cups of fresh cherries.
  2. Gently rinse 3 cups of fresh raspberries.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cherries, raspberries, 6 cups of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
  4. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to allow the fruit to release its juices.
  5. Transfer the fruit mixture to a wide, shallow, nonreactive saucepan. Stir in an additional 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
  6. Cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, for 30 to 40 minutes. The mixture is ready when it thickens and takes on a glossy glaze.
  7. Perform the wrinkle test: Remove a tablespoon of preserves, place it on a chilled saucer, and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Run your finger through the mixture. If it wrinkles, the preserves are ready. If not, continue cooking for 5-minute intervals and repeat the test.
  8. While the preserves are cooking, sterilize four 8-ounce canning jars by washing and rinsing them in the dishwasher without detergent. Keep them warm in a 250°F oven.
  9. Pour boiling water over the jar lids to soften the rubber seals.
  10. Ladle the hot preserves into the warm jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
  11. Wipe the rims of the jars clean. Seal with the hot lids and metal bands.
  12. Let the jars cool completely to room temperature. Refrigerate for several weeks to allow the flavors to meld.
  13. For longer storage, process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
