Ingredients
- 30 g Cherries, sour
- 25 g Sugar
- 2 g Lemon juice
- 10 g Water
Method
- Pit the cherries. Makes about 15 servings; multiply all the ingredients by 15 for a full jar (roughly 450 ml).
- Layer the pitted cherries and sugar in a heavy pot and let stand for 30 minutes so the sugar draws out the juices.
- Add the water and bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming off any foam.
- Stir in the lemon juice and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, without breaking up the cherries, until the syrup thickens slightly and coats a spoon.
- Ladle into a clean, hot sterilized jar while still hot, seal, and let cool completely; refrigerate once opened and use within a few weeks.
- Serve chilled, a spoonful at a time, over yogurt or ice cream, or simply with a glass of cold water.
