Your pot needs to be a good 3-4” taller than the jars you will use. For water bath canning, water needs to cover the jars by an inch, then you need space in the pot for a rolling boil.
Also should have something to place on the inside bottom of the pot to keep the jars from sitting directly on the bottom because the direct heat from the pot can cause them to crack. Either a canning basket, or something like this when I’m doing a smaller batch in a smaller pot with smaller jars.

Undecided on a great many things
Looks like delays are a month out.
You would still get them in time for harvest.
I might give some a try.
I ordered on 5/28 and they shipped on 6/2, so they are not very far behind as they shipped in 3 business days.
On Thursday I bough a flat (8 quarts) of sweet cherries from Baugher's Farm in Westminster, and spent a good part of the afternoon pitting them. Today we canned Chocolate-Cherry Jam (wow, I'm still giggling about how delicious this is) which yielded 9 half-pint jars; and Brandied Cherries which yielded 6 pints. (Both recipes were from Ball books.) Turned out to be the perfect amount of cherries, for both recipes, with a small amount of both of them left over for quality control.

Baughers will pit them for you.
I asked, because I’ve had cherries pitted there before (and it is one amazing machine to watch). But the lady said the pitting machine only works with the smaller sour cherries, and cherries that don’t have the stems on like these did.

Oof! Old fashioned way it is then. See why families were so big.. had a kid or three to pit the cherries!

No you just need a cherry pitter. I pitted a lot of cherries with one like the Old-Fashioned, Antique-Style one.
Link to several kinds:

Yesterday we got around to canning 3 pints of Bread & Butter pickle chips from about 1.5 lbs. of small (~6”) cukes out of our friend’s garden. It was a quick and easy operation that exactly filled 3 jars using 1.5C vinegar, 1.5C sugar, and 2.25 Tbs of Mrs. Wages B&B spice mix. No hot peppers in this batch for a change. I have many months’ worth of chips and other pickles already on the shelf, so these will probably make it onto our sandwiches and burgers later in 2022.
It’s getting to be time to start back up with some hearty stews and soups. We took a quart jar of last year’s Wild Boar Stew with us on a recent camping trip to Elk Neck, and it was maahvelous!

Heads-up in case anyone has one of these on your radar, the All-American pressure canners models 910 and 925 are currently showing in stock. They have been unobtainium for a long time. (We have the 910 and love it. It's the perfect size for the size batches we can, and we use it on our glass-top stove without issues. I would be concerned about the weight on our stove if we had a larger one.)

They are real pricy I have been using a T-fal Pressure Cooker at about 1/3 the cost for a while. If it works it works.

Nice
I have a Kansas city recipe that I water bath can, most BBQ sauce's have a high ratio of Vineger/lemon juice, high acid content ingredient, etc, to begin with. Example mine has AC vinegar, ketchup, and lemon juice in it .
