I’ve never done a raw pack and I’m impressed and saving this for next year. Thank you! I’m already done processing the sour cherries I got this year. My daughter has a large sour cherry tree at her house but isn’t interested in canning, so me, my husband, 6 robins, 2 squirrels, and 1 chipmunk picked like mad for 2 days. I got 24 cups of cherries-3 cups went into a cherry pie and I made a cherry sauce that can be frozen with the other 21 cups of cherries. I pitted the cherries with some vintage cocktail forks that I probably inherited from my mother 20 years ago.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Glad the squirrels share with you :)

I'm excited to promote the amazing Forjars lids too! It's nice to have a quality product from a company that really cares.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I totally agree!

[@cbass2755]

I canned cherries! Yes…Fourjar canning lids are fantastic…been using for about 4-5 months

[@makeapennycry]

Thank you! I’ll be trying these!

[@cbass2755]

You won’t be disappointed. The company service is incredible. I use both if I run out of Fourjars for emergency

[@deniseellenburg649]

BEST LIDS ON THE MARKET!!

[@donnarodriguez4755]

Searched for your video on canning cherries - just cherries. My husband is diabetic and we're trying to get away from sugar and fructose, etc. So glad I found this video. Thank you!

[@cbass2755]

I didn’t pit my cherries, but I did take a toothpick and punch a hole on each side of every cherry. They said that way the cherry stays intact, not splits and tares. So, I did, and it worked. So pretty in the jars….

[@yerneedsry]

Awesome company love the towels.

[@marysewitsky4823]

Love my forjars lids

[@tmd7859]

I've ordered from them, shipping was fast! And yes if rather give them my money than ball. Ball dropped the ball during the scamdemic and now the prices for lids are a rip off.

[@WillowsGarden]

Many people say the Forjars are better than Ball lids. Yum on the sour cherries, so good to have on your pantry shelves. Have a blessed day!

[@joycedemolle4565]

Love my Forjars lids.

[@marygallagher3428]

The sour cherries canned up so nicely :-)

[@jerriscollins-ruth9019]

Thanks Mary Ellen.

[@lesleyhoban6559]

Perfect timing ... cherries r on sale im picking up tomorrow to can some half pints for winter fruitt reats

[@oldnanz]

I love forjars. There customer service was great I made a mistake and they wanted to fix my mistake. That in today’s society is unheard of. I hope you love them. I had so many fails with Ball I tried all different ones with not as many fails but was tiered of the poor quality. Tried these will not go back to other companies. I watched an interview with two of there representatives and a tour of the facility. Impressive. I hope as they get bigger the quality and customer service stays great.

[@gsdalpha1358]

Wondering if I can do this with ground cherries aka husk cherries. They taste like a cross between a semi-tart cherry and grape. I had no idea they were such heavy bearers when planted, and I'm getting 2 cups a day right now. Made cherry crunch with one batch, came out drool-worthy lol! I really need to try ForJar lids - 3 failures to seal last week out of 9 jars! Two were Golden Harvest lids, one was a Ball lid. Failures are usually really rare!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Like you I have rarely had a lid failure. I have not tried Golden Harvest lids, though.I have never eaten or canned ground cherries.

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

Cucumber and zucchini invasion has begun. Making pickles. Still have a ton of Ball and so far so good. I check and holding. I did get a bunch of Forjars when they had freebies and sales awhile back.

[@sandys.1891]

I have 36 lbs of cherries coming Monday. So I'm trying to decide how I want to preserve them. I like this way and I'm off to find a decent cherry pie filling too.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I just use the raw packed canned cherries to make the pies. See the pie portion of kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXLWhomHfqyLac0

[@sandys.1891]

@@PrepperPotpourri that's a great idea. If I only have to can one method it will speed up the process. TY.

[@renalarue6988]

In the store, how do you tell they’re sour opposed to sweet cherries. I don’t think I’ve every seen any labeled sour.

[@tiggywinkle7522]

The sour cherries don't hold up for transit in shipping, so you don't find them in grocery stores. Usually you can find a you-pick orchard end of June or early July. Tart cherries are my favorite!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Sweet cherries are usually much larger but you can sometimes frozen tart [sour] cherries.

[@sadiejackson774]

I try to avoid made in China.

[@patlovato4073]

How ripe does ur cherries how to be

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I only pick ripe cherries so that is what I can

[@HuplesCat]

Not tarty!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Yep sour cherries are tarty. Makes great pies.

[@Jomama02]

FORJARSLIDS are much better than Ball lids any day! I've been using them for a over a year now and haven't had one fail with them. Several failures with the Ball lids....they sacrificed their quality during the pandemic...shame on them....
