Cherry Berry Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In large bowl with an electric mixer, mix butter until fluffy. Add half the flour, then add in order: brown sugar, lemon zest, juice and egg. To remaining flour add baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Combine both mixtures until just incorporated. Fold in cherries and pour into an ungreased 8 by 8-inch baking pan. Using a spoon, equally dollop preserves on top of batter and using a toothpick or skewer, drag the tip through the preserves to create a swirl pattern on top.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; cake will be moist to the touch. Once cooled, cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar to serve.

Steps:

• 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.
• Let fruit cool.
• Puree fruit in a blender or food processor or using an immersion blender.
• Measure puree.
• Return puree to pot - you should have about 6 cups of puree. Add sugar.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often until mixture has thickened.
• 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.
