Happy Sunday, friends! Just a quick reminder that tomorrow night is Food in Jars TV night over on Facebook. I’ll be demonstrating how to make the Bourbon Sour Cherries from my second book, Preserving by the Pint at 8 pm ET/6 pm PT. These cherries come together quickly and are perfect for cocktails, serving with stinky cheeses, or eating directly from the jar with a spoon.
Now, links.

This week on the blog, look for a nonstop celebration of cherries. I’m going to be posting a new recipe every day, featuring sweet cherries, sour cherries, and Rainier cherries (by the time the week is over, I will have processed through nearly 25 pounds). While you await all these new recipes, here are some of my favorite cherry recipes from the archives.

I’m obsessing over cherries right now too! I pitted a few pounds this weekend after finding some at a good price, and now I’m debating making a jam or freezing them for the future. In the meantime I may just eat most of them raw.
Thank you for including my recipe in your round-up Marisa! You’re the best!!
I processed 40 pounds of WA cherries from a family member’s farm last summer, using several of these recipes and the BBQ sauce was quick to go! Also, live in Portland and saw your feature in Curbside! 🙂
