Calories: 95kcal
- 1 pound fresh cherries; pitted - approximately 3 cups (any variety)
- ½ cup Grenadine, cherry, pomegranate, or red grape juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Use a cherry pitter to remove the cherry pits and set cherries aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, add everything except the cherries and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer, and stir until sugar dissolves completely for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the cherries, and let cool. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
