I designed these recipes for refrigeration, so that’s why you don’t see the heavy lifting and boiling water. If you wanted to can them for shelf storage (in a waterbath or pressure canner), it could be done, as there’s a very high alcohol content.

Sterilize your jars and lids. Pack the cherries and syrup or booze into the jars while still hot. Wipe your rims, add lids and tighten bands. Process in a waterbath for 20 minutes. For a pressure canner, process at 6 PSI for 8 minutes.

Cheers,
Lora

I read in a magazine that cherries boost the imune system and help increase meletonine levels to help you fall asleep faster. Haha and if the cherries dont do that the booze will.
I grew up watching my mom can ftesh foods on a farm when I was 10. Seemed like there was a lot of hot water and heavy lifting involved, I was always cationed about the pressure cooker. The finished product seemed like fairies work with all the clean jars of food lined up on the counter and then in the garage shelves. I wish I could can..This recipe; do I need to put them in boiling water to seal the lids or just put them in the fridge?
Thank you for reading this. I found yoiur site through a link for Mod Podge Rocks
