📝 Preparation Steps
1
Sterilize your jars in boiling water and then place them in a warm oven that is set to 215° while you make the filling, or at least a minimum of ⏱️ 15 minutes.
2
Add the pitted cherries, sugar, and cornstarch to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and thickens, stirring constantly. Once nice and thick, remove from the heat and stir in almond extract, lemon juice, and butter. If you want a bright red filling, add red food coloring until it is the desired level of red.

3
Fill the warm jars with hot pie filling, being sure to only fill to the bottom rung of the mouth of the jar. If you overfill it, it will explode!
4
Screw the lids on tight and process jars in a hot water bath for ⏱️ 20 minutes. Remove from the water and let cool.
