Cherry Berry Butter



Combine two of summer’s favorites,
sweet cherries and blueberries, for a delectably easy fruit butter.






Servings: 6 half-pint jars

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds fresh
    cherries



    pitted
    and rinsed



  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh
    blueberries



    washed
  • 3 cups granulated sugar

Method
 



  1. Place cherries and blueberries in a large pot and cook
    over low heat until soft, adding small amounts of water if necessary, to
    prevent scorching.








  2. Let fruit cool.








  3. Puree fruit in a blender or food processor or using an
    immersion blender.








  4. Measure puree.








  5. Return puree to pot - you should have about 6 cups of
    puree. Add sugar.








  6. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often until
    mixture has thickened.








  7. Ladle into hot, clean jars leaving about ¼ inch head
    space. Top with the two-piece lids and rings, and process in a water bath for
    10 minutes.
