Maraschino Cherries

Ingredients:

4 1/2 pounds Royal Ann cherries
2 Tbsp. Kosher salt
1 tsp alum
1 quart water
3 cups water
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 one-ounce bottle red food coloring
1 oz. almond extract
Juice of one lemon, strained
1 tsp imitation raspberry extract and a few drops rose extract, optional

Pit cherries and soak overnight in a brine made of salt, alum and a quart of water. The next day, wash cherries until the salt taste is gone. Bring three cups water, sugar and food coloring to a boil. Add the cherries, remove from heat, and let stand 24 hours. The next day, bring the cherries and syrup just to a boil, adding the almond extract and lemon juice. The two optional ingredients may be added at this point. Pack the hot cherries and syrup in small, sterilized jars and seal.
