We have a cherry tree that produced 62 pounds of cherries this year. It had a lot of "pent up energy" - we hadn't gotten any cherries the last two years due to late freezes, and three years ago we'd gotten about 25 pounds, which had been the record.

Needless to say, lots of picking and pitting this year. I ended up making jam, jelly and freezer jam, plus fresh pie, several batches of frozen pie filling, more frozen cherries, and I'm trying making wine for the first time.

I've canned jalapenos in the past as well as strawberry jam, etc., but it's been a few years.
