What is Best Way to Join Wood Wider Than the Jointer??

I realize this is not a problem unique to my situation. Therefore I am requesting opinions on the preferred way to do this. Here's what's happening . . . . . I have a cherry board that is 11" wide which needs to be 9" wide. My problem is that my jointer is an 8" machine. After cutting 2" off the board on the table saw how do I join the remaining 9" wide board? Thanks for all recommendations.

+1 on the process shared by Charlie.
Or you can just do it by hand!

Run it across my 12" jointer? Or, Id probably rip it to 2, 5.5 wide boards and glue them up, it would probably be more stable that way anyhow.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. The method Jay and Wood Videos describes looks to be the easiest. (Except for Chris' offer.:)) Let me say that I am not totally lazy in that I could have performed a Bing or YouTube search. However, I wanted to know how some NCWW members would do this and in turn what would actually work.

Thanks again!
