Pour in about a half inch of syrup into a tall glass, and add lots of ice cubes and seltzer or club soda. You might even prefer water instead. Iranis add a sprig of fresh mint and a sour cherry to the glass as well.

Time 21m

Yield 3 Quarts

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 1/2 lbs fresh sour cherries, stemmed and pitted or 4 1/2 lbs pitted unsweetened frozen sour cherries
11 cups sugar
5 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 6 limes)

Steps:

  • Puree the cherries in a blender or food processor in small batches. Run juice through a fine sieve, pressing hard to extract all the juice.
  • In a large saucepan, mix cherry juice with sugar, water and lime juice and bring to a boil, stirring consistently, until sugar dissolves.
  • Cook over moderate heat for 10 minutes, skimming off the foam that rises to the top with a slotted spoon.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring and skimming, until syrupy, about 1 hour.
  • Strain the syrup into jars and let cool completely before storing.
