Fresh sour cherries are best, but you can also make this recipe with frozen morello cherries. These cherries will keep in the refrigerator for several months and are fantastic spooned over ice cream or a simple cake or even dropped into a glass of champagne with a little of their syrup.

Yield makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 cups (500g) sugar
3 cups (720g) water
1 1/2 cups (375g) brandy or cognac, or more to taste
1 1/2 pounds (680g) sour cherries, pitted

Steps:

  • Put the sugar and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and add the brandy and cherries. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the cherries carefully with a slotted spoon. Continue to simmer the liquid for 30 minutes, reducing the liquid to give it some body.
  • Take the pan off the heat and return the cherries to the liquid. Let cool to room temperature. Taste and add more brandy if you want. Store in the refrigerator.
