📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare a water bath canner, jars, rings and lids before beginning. The canner should be pre-heated to around 180 degrees F (barely simmering) for hot pack.
2
Juice the limes and strain to remove any pulp and seeds.
3
Pit and puree the cherries. (You can use cherry juice in place of the puree if you'd rather not pit; the cherry flavor will be lighter.)
4
Mix the cherry puree, strained lime juice, and sugar in a saucepan.
lime juice (fresh or bottled)4 cups
5
Gently heat the mixture on the stove to around 190 degrees F, but do not boil.
6
Ladle the concentrate into prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal with 2 part canning lids.
7
Process the jars in a water bath canner for ⏱️ 15 minutes, adjusting to the altitude (see notes).

Turn off the heat and leave the jars in the canner for an additional ⏱️ 5 minutes to cool slightly before removing them with a canning jar lifter to cool completely on a towel on the counter.
9
Wait 12 to ⏱️ 24 hours, then check seals. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator for immediate use. Properly canned and sealed jars may be stored in the pantry. Refrigerate after opening.
