Homemade Cherry Butter 🍒

Cherry butter is a smooth fruit spread similar to apple butter, made by slowly cooking cherries down until thick and rich. Properly refrigerated cherry butter generally keeps around 3–4 weeks once opened, while properly canned jars may last much longer when sealed and stored correctly.
