Would love if you shared the recipes! Especially Raspberry Lavender and Cherry Cardamom! Today I put up raspberry vanilla (http://www.sbcanning.com/2011/07/canning-raspberry-delight.html) Ive never canned cherries but a neighbor has a cherry tree and I'm working up the nerve to ask to pick it.
The recipes I used are nothing more exciting than the cooked jam recipe from the Pomona's natural pectin box. The only thing I did different was to not mash up all the cherries too much to make them more like preserves, and I added fresh ground cardamom seeds to them to taste and fresh ground lavender flowers to the raspberry jam. I like the sound of raspberry vanilla. I'll have to check that out. And neighbors, in my experience, are often happy to share their cherries. Have fun!
