Preserved Morello Cherries

How to make it

1. 1

   Half of the stalk is clipped off the berries.

2. 2

   The sugar and water are boiled into a syrup and skimmed. The syrup is poured over the berries and left standing thus until the next day.

3. 3

   Now it is put in the preserving kettle, which is set over a slow fire and left until the berries begin to change colour.

4. 4

   The berries are lifted out and placed in clean, dry jars; the juice simmers for 1/4 hour and is poured over the berries.

5. 5

   The jars are tied over when the preserve is cold.
