Yep - I really meant four 1 lb jars. You might be able to make do with three, but that would be a personal preference. My son usually steals a few of them while they are draining.
Nancia - by the time the juice is drained off and the cherries are chopped, they are more like 2 pounds, if that. So it isn't really an awful lot. If you look at the picture you can see the frosting isn't over cherried. They are a big part of why these cookies are so loved. We have several people who beg us for them every year. 
Enchanted Quilter... Thanks! A lot of those aprons must have at one time or another been sold as fabric panels, because sometimes you see the same designs with different waiste bands. It would be so cool if some fabric company brought them back.
