Simple Cherries in Syrup
Got some left over cherries which are not exactly at their best - then consider this delicious way of reviving them. Wonderful served with yoghurt, ice cream or plain cream!
Ingredients
1llb of Cherries
100g of Sugar
50ml of Water
1tbsp of Cherry Brandy
Destone the cherries (or leave this to the eaters if you are willing to take them risk of them choking!).
Place the cherries in a saucepan, throw in the water, sugar and cherry brandy (can be substituted with other liquor if you wish).
Bring to boil and cook until a syrup forms on the bottom - a couple of minutes does the trick, be careful not to allow it to burn or stick! Reduce the heat and cook until the cherries are softened and glisten.
Allow to cool, place in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. Its that simple.
