The same procedure is used for canning any cherries. Cherries should always be chosen very carefully. A cherry should not be canned if it has ANY imperfection. Cherries should also be submersed in water in small batches. Any that float may contain worms and should be thrown out. Make sure to visit our recipes page for cherry canning recipes! Note: Cherry Pitters may be found in our secure canning store.
