The Easiest Way To Make Tart Cherry Juice!

Wash the cherries thoroughly.

Fill the steamer basket with the washed cherries until full.

Put water in the bottom part of the steamer juice extractor.

Turn the heat on high to boil the water.

Clamp the hose shut to prevent leaks while the steam works.

Steam the cherries until the juice runs out into the collector pot below.

Once the juice is collected, heat it up in a pot.

Prepare canning supplies: funnel, canning lids, and rings in a pot.

Ladle the hot juice into jars, filling almost six jars (five for canning, one for the refrigerator).

Wipe down the jars to ensure a good seal.

Put lids and rings on the jars and hand tighten them (no need to crank down hard).

Place the jars in a canner or any pot, ensuring they are fully covered with water.

Put the lid on the pot and hot water bath the jars for about 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove the jars and let them cool, then remove the rings for storage.
