I made Elderberry Syrup a few days ago and am loving it. I also have a tincture going. I can see using this Cherry Syrup in lots of creative and tasty ways.

You can use this syrup for so many things, in place of your regular syrups for breakfast, as an addition to drinks, even as a part of a vinaigrette!
Ingredients
- 4 cups Sweetheart Cherries (with a slit cut in the side of each)
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a medium sized, heavy bottom pot. Smash around to release some of the cherry juices. (I used a potato masher)
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a high simmer (still bubbling, but not boiling)
- Reduce syrup to about half or until it thickens a bit.
- It will thicken more as it cools.
Notes
The time it takes to reduce the syrup may take less or more time, depending on the simmer you have going on. Just keep an eye on it.
