Instruction manual
1
For the preparation of cherries in their own juice, berries bought or removed from the tree on their own, and most importantly, fresh, must be prepared in advance.
The preparation process includes sorting, washing and peeling berries. First, take away the tainted cherries, and ripe, juicy, not damaged berries
rinse, remove the stalks and seeds.
By the way, do not throw away either one or the other, since dried stalks can be used as a medicine for helminthiasis, intestinal upset, and edema.
Also, the stalks can be brewed as tea as a diuretic for headaches caused by high blood pressure and swelling of the tissues.
Cherry stones retain cold and heat well, they can fill small pads, which are subsequently used as warming or cooling heaters for bruises, sprains, headaches and so on.

So, washed and peeled berries should be placed in a wide enameled bowl and covered with sugar per 1 can of 0.5 liter 1-2 tablespoons of sugar.
The berries can be immediately decomposed into clean jars that are pre-sterilized in a convenient way or you decide to bypass this process. Stack berries in jars should be tight, and sprinkle sugar on top.
3
Leave the berries sprinkled with sugar for several hours, namely 4-12, so that the juice stands out. If the berries are prepared in an enameled bowl, then first you need to lay the cherries in banks tightly, and then pour the allocated juice. Sugar, as a rule, is completely dissolved in 12 hours of languishing.
4
Now you need to sterilize cherries in their own juice, so that the berries are preserved until winter. To do this, put the cloth folded in 6 layers on the bottom of the wide pan, put the jars as it fits, put the lids on the jars and pour cold water into the pan so that the jars are about two-thirds high in the water.
5
Put a pot of jars on the fire and bring to a boil. Boil over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
6
Turn the cans upside down, placing them on a cloth and wrap them. Leave to cool completely and then place in the cellar, pantry or refrigerator.
Cherry in its own pitted juice can be used as an independent dessert dish, as well as to prepare jelly, stewed fruit or filling for pies, pies, rolls, dumplings and cakes.
