I came up with this recipe after making Nanking Cherry Jelly from a different recipe...This one is a little bit more tart and not as stiff as the other recipe...I used a whole apple (core and peel included) for a little extra pectin...First you have to make the juice from the cherries, then you can make jelly by straining through a cheesecloth or make jam by squeezing the pulp through a colander to get rid of the seeds. -- posted by Scutch
