How to pick the cherries from the tree. 1  Gently grasp the berry with your fingers and thumb, and. 2  tug gently. 3  If it is ripe, it will easily come off in your hand, with the stem attached.  Repeat these operations using both hands until each holds 3 or 4 1  cherries. Carefully place - don't throw - the fruit into your containers.
(all photos by Cheryl) This method does not cook the cherries before canning. I prefer the firmness of the canned cherries so I skip the pre-cooking. If you would like a softer cherry, cook the cherries with the water and sugar for 5 minutes before proceeding with canning steps. This recipe is also focuses on sweet, rather than sour cherries. Sour cherries are great for pie filling, but not eating straight up.
