Water Bath Canning: Cherry Pie Filling

Make your own home-canned cherry pie filling! Use fresh or frozen tart cherries--we like Montgomery the best. The beautiful red filling looks especially elegant in Weck liter jars and is a great convenience to have on your pantry shelf.

I made your cherry pie filling last night. I made six quarts. It’s a great feeling to know I’ll have treats for my family this fall and winter. I have five children ages 11-22

[@joannmahaffey1068]

Thank you for this recipe.

[@SquirrelRun]

Pam, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You took the fear out of canning for me! In the last two weeks, I've pressure canned bone broth, made apple and cherry pie filling and water bath canned that, and then made apple peeling jam! I feel so accomplished to be putting things I've made in my food storage! As an aside, I've also freeze dried bone broth to make my own chicken bouillon and our chickens are giving us at least 18 eggs a day, and I've freeze dried them! My gratitude for your teachings knows no bounds at this point! My grandchildren are even learning about food storage and it's importance now, years after their Moms became inactive at Church. I send my love from my family to yours! Thank you!

[@flowrangel7763]

Awww picnic dates with cherrie pie! I adore baking and cooking for others, it's one way to say I love and care for you, and I have been making pie for a long time as well (I'm only 15 though lol) ♡ Thankies for teaching us how to make this and can the filling as well. I have extra filling i need to can because of a large harvest and I have cherry danishes baking right now :) Have a good day

[@BarbaraSummering]

What a great recipe! I found 8-ziplocks filled with pie cherries, all the way at the bottom of the freezer… they were packed in a 2 gallon ziplock, labeled 2004!!! I thawed them out , and then tasted the juice… it was so delicious… so I made 8 pints + 3/4 quart of the Cherry Pie Filling! Even with the cherries being 17 years old, the combo was absolutely mouth watering!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I LOVE that! Congratulations! So glad it all worked out for you.

[@araceliadams34]

I took a break from canning for a few weeks but decided to can cherries now, so your videos are the first place I go to get ready for this. Love your work. I had purchased the Presto Canner and have used it for months since my kitchen stovetop is electric and not sturdy enough for a traditional pressure canner. Thanks for the videos about the Instant Pot Max and Presto Electric canner.

You are very welcome. We are videoing the adjusted meat sauce video today, so it will be posted in a few days..

Once again, Pam, you have aced your demo😎 I've had 4 qts of cherries sitting in my freezer for months, awaiting canning lids and finally I'm all set! Thanks so much! I rely on your expertise in all things food preservation 💞 P.S. I'm in Wisconsin where we grow lots of cherries but I still have to buy frozen, unless I want to pick, wash and pit them (forget it! Did that once and never again😎)

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Hi! I found your chanel just the other day and i have almost gone thru all your videos. I really like that you use grams and liters witch its not that regular when watching videos from the states. The weck jars that you use are lovley! They are what i have to use here in Sweden. Ball and Kerr are to expensive for me, 4 to 6 usd each and the weck is 2 to 3 usd. Keep up the good work!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you for your kind words and for watching. I am so pleased the videos are useful for you. I really love the Weck jars and wish I could get them for your price! they are 5 and 6 USD here, while the Ball and Kerr are about 1-2 USD.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I just came over from That 1870s Homestead, someone over there recommended your channel. You did a beautiful job on the pie filling! I love the Weck jars, I’m going to have to break down and get some one of these days. One thing I wanted to mention about your canner, it’s fine to can without the lid, however, you will be cooking your product longer because the water will take a lot longer to come to a boil without the lid on. Some things I wouldn’t care too much about, but other things, like peaches, I only want to cook them as long as I absolutely have to. We all have to do what matters to us. I really like your teaching style, it is very straightforward and clear. Thanks! Just a note added, I think you meant Montmorency tart cherries, not Montgomery. I have a Montmorency tree and I’m busy canning!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Actually, you should run a little experiment on your own to test out that theory. You might be surprised how little the difference is with that volume of water! Thanks for watching.

[@jeaniehyer7920]

Getting ready to make pie filling. I love clear jell! We live in cherry country. When we miss picking pie cherries ( they are first to come on), we use Bing cherries. I actually like the Bing cherry pie filling better.

[@toothaching]

Yay! That recipe is perfect for the holidays. Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I agree! So nice to have jars ready on the pantry shelf for making a quick pie. Thanks, as always, for watching and for your comments.

[@josephineibarra1508]

I just love to watch your videos. You are so informative and thorough. I really appreciate that . Can you please make some videos making meals/recipes with your canned goods?

Wow that does look delicious, getting the pie thickener here in Australia can be a challenge.🍒🍒🍒

It is good. I have found the pie filling lasts only 6-8 months on the shelf. I was hoping for longer. Thanks for watching.

[@Kim-un7vl]

I usually use a store-bought sugar free cherry pie filling, the only one that is sugar free. Is there a method to make something that has less sugar? For pie loving diabetics. Thanks so much. You are the person to watch for canning.

[@arleneheg]

I am fairly new to your channel and enjoy and share your videos a lot. I have learned a lot and I am fairly experienced. So happy to come across this recipe to can cherry pie filling! My family lives in the Traverse City, MI area and are cherry farmers so I get all the cherries I want. Previously I dehydrated but since getting my freeze dryer, I have been processing them that way. I am excited to use some for cherry pies, my favorite! This past year it was so sad, the processors wouldn't take the sour cherries (Montmorancy -not Montgomery) so the farmers ended up just dumping them! I am going to check into sourcing some dry ice and shipping costs for next year. Since the cherries are free, it may be worth it.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Hi and welcome. So glad you found us! Wow--I can't believe they just dumped those cherries. And how lucky you are to have that resource.

[@Bethelight43]

As a kid, I always wanted cherry pie, not cake, to celebrate my birthday! What a treat this video has been!

[@KatyInNH]

Hi Pam, I ran across a recipe for cherry pie filling that uses sweet cherries. It is in the Bernardin Home Preserving Canning book (Canadian sister book to the Ball Blue Book last published in 2013). The recipe is named Lots of Cherries Pie, and has a variation for sweet cherries (pg. 41)! I went on the hunt for a sweet cherry recipe as I have a couple of big bags in my freezer and can't find the tart cherries at this time in my area. The recipe reduces the amount of juice and sugar and increases the lemon juice. If you have a contact email, I would be happy to send the recipe to you. Cherry pie is my hubby's favorite. I will be making this and your crust also. All the info between the two videos are great and explain the process so well. The cold filling into a cold crust will make the perfect pie! I am just waiting for my ClearJel to arrive. Happy Anniversary of the first moon landing! Hubby and I are both scientist and always go star and moon gazing on July 20 - a standing date every year to celebrate! Katy

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you for your comments and for the information on Bernardin. I had no idea they even existed! I have ordered the book and look forward to going through it when it arrives. Bernardin has some beautiful vintage jars as well that I am going to try to track down!

[@KatyInNH]

@@RoseRedHomestead I am thinking it will work because it uses the Clear JEL right in the recipe as the pie filling is prepared. There is a pie filling using sweet cherries in the All New Ball book but it adds the cornstarch afterward requiring heating before it goes into the crust. As soon as my Clear Jel arrives, I will be giving it a go!

[@Sg4809]

Rewatching!

[@fluffyotter1601]

Can you share the brand name of the beautiful jars you used to canned the pie filling? Thank you, good video! We just processed 17 pounds of tart cherries yesterday that we picked at an Amish farm….. the price was only $2.50 a pound😊 incredibly good price:)

Good day, Miss Pam and Mr. Jim! Have you made a video for strawberry pie filling? Or, would it be the same as this but substituting strawberries? Would I use fresh or frozen strawberries? Thank you so much for continuing to share your knowledge! You are an amazing educator and your videos make following along quite easy. Thank you for that!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

We have not done a video for strawberry pie filling. I think it would be close to the same and you could use either fresh or frozen. You might experiment with enough filling for one pie to see how it would work.

tarte cherries. i have an orchard behind my house. if you need tart cherries, order from northern Michigan farms. ie, Traverse City or Leelanau county Michigan. Central Lake MI also has a good online shop for frozen tarte cherries. 20 lbs for 100 bucks. at least 10 pies worth. roughly 10 bucks a pie.

[@jennyvandenberg5932]

Perfect! Thank you so much for sharing this video. I have a large cherry tree in my back yard and will be canning this recipe this year. Pitting the cherries is the worst part. Do you have any advice for easily pitting cherries?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Yes...I buy them already pitted! LOL! That is a job I dislike as well--it is very time consuming. Thanks for watching!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I use a paper clip with one loop bent out. You just take the stem off the cherry, push the loop end of the paper clip into the stem end of the cherry and around the pit and pull it out. It’s quick and easy and it doesn’t smash the pie cherry like a cherry pitter does. I have a Montmorency tart cherry tree, so I have a LOT of cherries to deal with every year!

[@jonathanjars]

That looks amazing! And the weck jars are beautiful. Never used those before. May I ask where you got your jam pot? Thanks for the videos!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You are so welcome! thanks for your kind words. I have never used sweet cherries but I know some people do. You could try it out and see what you think! Yes, I think you would want to reduce the sugar if the pectin would still work.

[@sidockf]

What do you think about using the dehydrated tart cherry's? Pitted and suggared but not candied, 1 lb 4 oz bags before rehydration. Rehydrate in the same fashion as the juice is made in your receipe using hot water and sitting about an hour or 2? Since there is 7g of sugar added per 1/4 cup we should be able to reduce the sugar by a cup, I would think we need to reduce sugar though. Am I on the right track?

When you thawed the cherries did you just cover them or measure the water to equal the amount you needed?

I did not measure the water. I put a little water in the pot and as they thawed, they made more juice.

[@suequiney7913]

Hello iv just started watching ur channel and im a beginner canner from the uk. Can u please tell me if i can use cornstarch in this recipe as i cant find clear jel anywhere? Also are there any tricks to using cornstarch. Thank you in advance.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I am so glad you asked before you tried cornstarch! It is not safe to use cornstarch or flour as a thickener in canning. If you can't find ClearJel, the best thing to do is to can the cherries in water only and when you are ready to make your pie, then you can use the liquid from the bottled cherries with cornstarch and sugar to make the filling. Thanks for being safe!

[@suequiney7913]

Thank you so much for replying ill stick to your cherries then im new to ur channel and im already sourcing cherries and weck jars x

So how do you prepare the cherries if youre only cooking the juice for the filling?

Im sorry one more question is clear jel and instant clear jel the same or not. I can get instant clear jel herevin the uk? If not i will just can cherries. Im sorry im new to all this and theres not much info here in the uk x

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I am not familiar with the instant version, but I just read about it and apparently it is not recommended for canning.

@@RoseRedHomestead thank you u are an excellant teacher i believe u were made to teach i have learnt so much from u x

[@donnas2375]

I've heard instant is different (aka Sure-Jell) because clear jel is the "cooking" kind. Instant will get runny & ruin baking; it's good for jam/jelly quick pectin only.

Just canned 3 quarts using the information provided.

Beautiful!

I noticed that Kate Atwood asked about making a strawberry pie filling. It looks like you replied. However, when the "View from RoseRed Homestead" is selected, there is no reply. So, my question is can you make a strawberry pie filling? Is it the same? Or do you use less sugar because the strawberries are not so tart?

[@beverlyreynolds5686]

Watching and seeing your jam pan again. Would you mind sharing the brand and quart size? Thank you.

Pam, after you drained the water from your Cherries did you add cherry juice or water to the Cherries? If so, how much? Or was the juice in the Cherries from the Cherries just sitting there?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

As stated in the video I added some water to the cherries to thaw them, then drained that water along with juice produced by the cherries as they thawed.

Is there any reason other than it’s pretty that you use that jelly pot instead of a regular pan?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Absolutely. It is called a maslin pan and you can read about it here: www.magneticcooky.com/what-is-a-maslin-pan/

If I don’t have clear jel, can I use corn starch and still get the same results. I was just thinking that years ago, women made cherry pie filling and I’m sure they didn’t use clear jel, as corn starch was what most all homemakers had. Thankyou in advance!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I use corn starch in cherry pie filling when I am not canning it. Canning pie filling with flour or corn starch does not produce the best results. New products come along all the time that do a better job and I think ClearJel is one of those.

[@donnas2375]

Cornstarch alone in jars gets runny again & funky-cloudy when cooking in the oven. If you don't own the special clear-jel, just omit it & can it runny. Lots of folks wait to thicken it with regular cornstarch after opening their jars right before making the pie that way.

[@ford4life069]

I don't have the gel thickener and neither does my local small town store. If I canned just the cherries, pitted, how wld you turn that into pie filling when you opened them?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That is a great solution! Once you open the jar, make your pie filling using regular corn starch or flour as the thickener. It will work just fine.
