Instructions 

  • Place the cherries, sugar and lemon juice in a large non reactive pot.
  • Split and scrape one vanilla bean and add it to the pot.
  • Heat on low until cherries release their juices about 15- 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile mix the water and cornstarch; set aside.
  • Increase the heat and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling mix the water and cornstarch well and add to the pot stirring constantly.
  • Once mixture thickens (which will happen almost immediately if it was boiling) remove pot from heat and continue to stir for about a minute to prevent scorching.
  • Immediately fill a hot quart jar leaving ½ inch head space.
  • Wipe rim and place flat lid and band on the jar.
  • Process in a hot water bath for 35 minutes.
