This is Homesteader - can't log in properly for some reason. We have several of the Hansen's Bush cherry and we love them. The trick is let them get purple-ripe, really really dark, almost black, and very smushy. They do make the most delicious jam I've ever made. The seeds (pits?) are terrible to remove though for jam making and we finally started putting them through the Victorio strainer, we put them through twice. It's a lot of extra work but the jam really is that good.
