These cherries are just like the Maraschino cherries that you pay an arm and a leg for, only better -- and cheaper! They are a little time consuming but really worth it!

Ingredients
- Brine:
- 2 quarts water
- 1 Tablespoon pickling salt
- 4-1/2 pounds pitted sweet cherries
- 4-1/2 pounds sugar
- 3 cups water
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 ounce red food coloring
- 1 ounce almond extract
Directions
- Bring water and salt to a boil, stirring until salt is dissolved. Let cool for 10 minutes, then pour over pitted sweet cherries. Cover and let sit 12 hours or overnight.
- Drain cherries, discarding brine, and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, lemon juice, and red food coloring. Bring just to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar, and remove from heat. Pour over cherries, cover, and let stand for 24 hours.
- Drain cherries, reserving juice. Set cherries aside. Bring reserved juice to a boil again. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract. Pour juice over cherries.
- Pack cherries with juice in hot sterilized jars and seal according to manufacturer's recommendations. Process as you normally would.

Oh pshaw! Everything I learned I learned from my kindergarten teacher! (Inside joke sday!) But really, everything I learned about cooking/baking/preserving I learned from my grandmother/mother/aunts and God bless them for it! I wouldn't even dream of ever being as good at it as they are/were!
