    Thank you for the recipe! We found a few wild black cherry trees last August, and I look forward to harvesting more this year before the birds and squirrels polish them off! Last year we made some nice black-cherry infused-rum.

    Thank You from Nova Scotia Canada. This was the recipe I could find using our small Wild Black Cherries. Turned out amazing.

    It helps if you can “funnel” the berries into a clean garbage can (large round size with handles) when you shake the tree. We had a few energetic young men climb the trees and shake them while the rest of us held up the plastic as the berries rolled down into the container. We have dozens of trees in the woods but they are mixed in with all sorts of other trees, so its quite thsee project but well worth it if we can get them before the birds do. We ended up with about100 gallons of berries in a fun filled afternoon. I was a kid then, Mom & Dad made Wild Black Cherry wine.

      Wow! 100 gallons! That’s a LOT of berries to process. Memories like this those are SO precious.
      Thanks for sharing,
      Liz

    Thank you for the recipe! Our “new” house has a splendid old wild black cherry tree. I picked a pound and a half last weekend and am fermenting them for cordial but wanted to make jam too.

    I made this recently and ran the cherries through a food mill. It was a cheap food mill, so it was a difficult process and some seeds slipped through, which I picked out of the cooking jam later. But it seemed to turn out great! Next batch of cherries I get my hands on, I might turn into some infused liqueur or pancake syrup.
