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.
