Cherry Syrup – A Super Quick and Easy Recipe

·
2 servings
  1. Cook the cherries

    Cook the cherries with water until soft. While they're cooking, keep mashing them with a wooden spoon or a potato masher.

  2. Strain the juice

    Once the cherries are soft and fully cooked down, press them through a sieve and strain off the juice. Add the sugar and citric acid and keep simmering a little longer, until the sugar has fully dissolved.

  3. Fill the jars

    Pour into prepared, clean, pre-warmed jars. Brush the lids with plum brandy (or cherry brandy) and seal. You can also process the syrup in a water bath if you like.

  4. Storage

    Syrup that's been water-bath processed will keep for much longer. If you haven't processed it, store it somewhere cool and dark instead. Either way, it should easily last you through the summer.

  5. You're done!
