ISO: Is Water Bath Necessary?

Misc.
Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I don't get on the internet much. I found two recipes before I got yours. One without pectin, one with. I used the one without pectin first, and cooked, but couldn't get my stove to get the jam to reach 220. I then used the recipe with pectin. Neither one thickened, so I'm left with syrup. Do you think if I boiled them in a pressure water bath it would thicken them?

I read it was very hard to get choke cherry to thicken to jelly or jam. Do you have any ideas for next year?
