  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make pitted cherries in their own juice? Prepare the products. You will need granulated sugar and ripe cherries. Cherries are best taken sweet, late, dark.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash the cherry thoroughly, simultaneously remove all stems, leaves, spoiled or questionable cherries. Transfer the prepared cherries to a colander to drain the water. Then the most painstaking stage of the work is to remove the bones from each cherry. You can use special devices, of which there are quite a lot, you can take a straw for a cocktail, a pin or a hairpin.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    The specified amount of products will be enough for about 4 half-liter jars. Rinse each thoroughly with baking soda, then pour boiling water over it. Fill the jars with half-pitted cherries, then sprinkle with half of the granulated sugar. Then spread out the remains of the cherries again and cover with sugar again. Let the cherry stand for an hour or two.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Put a small piece of cloth in a large saucepan, put the prepared jars with cherries and granulated sugar. Fill the pan with water so that it reaches the "hangers" cans, cover the cans with tin lids, which then these cans will be capped. Cover the pan with a lid as well. Bring to a boil and, reducing the heat, sterilize the jars for 15-20 minutes.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Seal the finished cherries hermetically, turn the jars upside down and wrap them in something warm. This way you additionally sterilize the caps. Leave the jars like this until they cool down completely, and then send them for storage in a dark, dry place.

During sterilization, as a rule, my cherries "sink" significantly, so I put a little more peeled cherries in the process so that the jars are not half empty.
