Mix clear jell and 2 cups cold water and set aside. Bring mixture of sugar, salt, hot water and food coloring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the clear jell mixture to it , stirring constantly. Place bake on heat and cook stirring constantly for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in prepared 4 qts.cherries and almond extract. Put into clean jars. As you get to the last jar or two, you may find that you don't have enough cherries in the jell part. Stir in the 1 cup of cherries to this as you fill the last jar. Can by water bath for 20 minutes.(Which means that you put new lids on and turn them tight. Place in a canner with enough water in it to come up to the neck of the jars. Bring to a boil. Start timing for 20 minutes from the time it starts to boil. Do not let it boil too hard. Turn your heat down enough to keep it at a gentle boil. After 20 minutes, remove from canner and let cool on counter. After cool, check for a seal. If the lid is sucked down tight, it's sealed and you can take the rings off and store the jars. If not, store in the refrigerator and use within a week or two. Makes 6-1/2 quarts or pie filling. I double it and get 13 quarts.Number of Servings: 52Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LRUSSELLFAMILY.
