Ingredients

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

Instructions
 

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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.
  • Bring to a rolling boil, stirring every few minutes until a boil is achieved.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Cook 10 minutes while stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Remove lemon rind. 
  • Syrup will thicken slightly when cooled.
  • Cool completely and store in air tight containers in the refrigerator.
