Category: Recipes
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

2 Quarts Red Wine
2 Cups Sugar
2 Cups Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
12 Whole cloves
3 Cinnamon Sticks
12 Strips Orange Zest
4 Pounds Pitted Bing Cherries (About 8 Cups)

In a large heavy saucepan heat the wine, orange juice, cloves, cinnamon, and orange zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and sir to dissolve the sugar completely. Add the cherries to the wine and simmer for about 10 minutes or until soft. If using frozen berries the cooking time will be less. Use a slotted spoon to divide the cherries evenly into the four jars. Increase the heat and cook the wine mixture using a low boil until it has thickened and reduced by half. This will take about 10 to 12 minutes. Strain the mixture and then pour it over the cherries in the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace.

Place the lids on the jars and either store in the refrigerator or process using a water bath canner for 10 minutes. If processed with a water bath canner the cherries can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to a year. Makes 4 Pints
