FRESH CHERRY SYRUP
Ingredients
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
3 cups cherries
Preparation
1
In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients. You can pit the cherries or leave them with the pits if you'd like. Either way is fine.
2
Use a potato masher to squish the cherries and release some juices.
3
Simmer over medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Mixture will be slightly thickened, all the sugar should be dissolved, and the syrup should be a deep red color.
4
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
