How to make Quick Candied Cherry Recipe

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound (450 g) fresh sweet or sour cherries, rinsed
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) water
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Remove the stems and pit the cherries (I use a handheld cherry pitter.)
  • In a large non-reactive saucepan (at least 4 quarts/liters) bring the cherries, water, sugar, and lemon juice to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat so the cherries are cooking at a low rolling boil. Cook for 25 minutes, stirring frequently during the last 10 minutes of cooking to make sure the cherries are cooking evenly and not sticking.
  • Once the syrup is mostly reduced and a brilliant ruby-color, similar to the consistency of maple syrup, remove the pan from the heat and cool the cherries to room temperature.
  • After the cherries are cool, they can be refrigerated for up to one week, or frozen in zip-top freezer bags for up to one year.
