Ingredients

  • 1 Pound cherries stems and pits removed
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • ½ Cup Water
  • pinch salt
  • rind of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Combine the cherries, pinch of salt and sugar in a medium sauce pot. Allow to rest for 20 minutes.
    1 Pound cherries, 1 Cup Sugar, pinch salt
  2. Add the ½ cup water and lemon rind to the cherries and sugar.
Over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the cherry syrup.
    ½ Cup Water, rind of 1 lemon
  3. Optional step: with an immersion blender, carefully pulse the cherries a few times to make a smoother, thicker syrup. Temporarily remove the lemon rind if you choose to blend. Return the lemon rind to the syrup for the thickening boil.
  4. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring every few minutes until a boil is achieved.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 10 minutes while stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Remove lemon rind. 
  6. Syrup will thicken slightly when cooled.
  7. Cool completely and store in air tight containers in the refrigerator.
