Hi
I need to know has anyone canned cherries by a recipe and the syrup amount
that you made was enough for the jars that the recipe called for. If so can
I please have that recipe.
Thanks in advance

There's a recent post in rec.food.preserving that has a recipe which
includes 1T of liquor (kirsch, in this case) per jar with the rest of
the added liquid being a sugar syrup.

May I suggest that you put cherries in a jar, add water to fill, and
then pour the water off into a measuring cup? That will tell you how
much liquid you need per jar. You might also experiment with carfully
*packing* the cherries, rather than just dumping them into the jar.
That could make quite a difference in the amount of liquid required to
fill the remaining volume.
