I live in the SE corner of WA State, so all the cherries are ready. My DH got a box of Bing Cherries, so I used the sure jell recipe to make 12 - 1/2 pints of cherry jam. Then, I decided to make Jalapeno-Cherry Jam, so I chopped up a couple of big handfuls of jalapenos (from a can) into my next batch of jam. It turned out delicious and made 7 - 1/2 pints. With the remaining cherries, I just canned them for future use or jam. To make it easier, I bought a cherry pitter from BB and Beyond that will pit four cherries at a time.
