For Dwight. My neighbor has a red sour cherry tree so I froze several packs in my freezer. I'll try this myself. I made a cobbler when they were fresh but now they are frozen. They should be fine to make jelly. I ate them off the tree when they were ripe. We'll see how this works out. If this looks familiar let me know.

Stir well and heat quickly to a rolling boil for 1 minute, add sure jell; stir well and let it come to another rolling bowl for 1 minute. Take off eye and quickly pour into hot, sterilized pint glass jars,.Add thin layer of paraffin on top of jelly. Place Lids and rings on sterilized jars, tight enough to secure.
