huckleberries and I was not disappointed.

tell me a slick way to seperate the stone from the meat of the cherry anyway
Elderberries are also ripe now. Lotsa seed, very little pulp. I know of two
ways.
Cook the fruit first and run it thru a canning colander. This will give you
more skin along with the juice and pulp.
The other way is to cook them and then squeeze them thru a cloth. You get
pulp and juice, but very little skin.
Or, you can put them in a stone crock with sugar and yeast and make some
wine. No pressure lock required. Cover the crock with cloth.

Choke Cherry Syrup
8 cups juice (heat before measuring)
8 cups sugar
1 small package raspberry or boysenberry jello
boil a few minutes
add 3 tablespoons lemon juice
boil about 30 minutes until thick
add 1 tablespoon butter
pour into bottles and seal.
Use a cheese cloth or nylon pantyhose for straining or a thin cotton
cloth... the other 2 work the best.

1 pound fruit
wash and crush ripe fruit
add 1 cup water and simmer 15 minutes
squeeze out juice
measure 3 cups juice and 1/2 cup lemon juice

measures.

If short of juice, fill last cup with water to equal exact amount
.

cloth or jelly bag over colander. Place hot prepared fruit into
cloth or bag. Fold cloth to form bag and twist from top. Press
with masher to extract juice.
5- To make jelly:
a) Add tectin to juice in kettle. Stir well.
b) Place over high heat; bring to boil, stirring constantly to
avoid scorching.
c) Add measured sugar; mix well. Continue stirring and bring to
full rolling
boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down).
d) Boil hard exactly 2 minutes. Remove from heat. skim foam and
pour
into glasses.
6- Use jars with two-piece metal lids. Pour immediately into jars:
filling to 1/8 inch from top. Place lids on jars; tighten bands
and invert jars.
after a few minutes, turn jars upright. Store in cool place.
7- Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Old Joe,
Good idea, but it likely won't work here. You see, Wyn is in the Cache
Valley, here in Utah. You can't find "used" cherry pitters or other
canning supplies in Utah cuz we are still using them all!
That reminds me, I have to get after a bushel or so of peaches this
weekend. All in good fun...
Sparks, in Ogden
