Dehydrating Cherries is pretty easy, but does require that you have a cherry stoner unless you really want to cut the pits out of every cherry (NOT recommended unless you really have nothing better to do with your time, which I can’t imagine). Step one is to wash the cherries. Yep, that’s the same wash […]
Home Canned Cherries
