4 1/2 pounds Royal Ann cherries
2 tablespoons Kosher salt
1 teaspoon alum

4 1/2 cups sugar
1 bottle (1 ounce size) red food coloring
1 ounce almond extract

directions
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.
