Steps:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, mix together the sugar, cherry juice, and cinnamon stick, cooking until sugar dissolves and stirring frequently about 3 - 5 minutes.
- Add the pitted cherries, continue to cook over medium heat for 8 - 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and add in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt.
- If you are not using a hot water bath then allow to cool, and gently transfer to clean jar(s) and keep in jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- If using the hot water bath to seal, transfer cherries and their liquid to clean, sterilized jars while cherries are hot. Do not fully tighten lids, just finger tight.
- Fill a large stockpot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Place jars carefully in the stockpot, bring water back to a boil and process for 10 minutes. For more details on canning and hot water baths, this is a great article to reference.

MAKE YOUR OWN MARASCHINO CHERRIES
Make your own Maraschino cherries! Adapted from Meal Master. I have not tried this yet, so putting it here for safekeeping! The sweet sundae-topper has its origins in Yugoslavia and northern Italy. For centuries, merchants had used marascas - small, bitter, black wild cherries - to make a sweet liqueur. Part of the flavor came from crushed cherry stones, which have an almond-like flavor. Marascara cherries preserved in the cherry liqueur were imported into the United States in the 1890s. These maraschino cherries were an expensive luxury served at the finest hotels. With typical ingenuity, American cherry processors figured out a way to make a less expensive version. They used Royal Anne cherries, less liqueur, and almond oil instead of crushed cherry pits. In the 1920s, alcohol was eliminated altogether when horticulturalist Ernest Wiegand found a way to preserve cherries using brine instead of alcohol. The American version of the maraschino became so popular that it completely replaced the foreign import. Cherries are grown in several regions of this country, but seventy percent of the cherries produced in the United States come from four states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah). Maraschini cherries are also produced in New England and the Mid Atlantic.
