Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients, except the cherries, into a 2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat until a you reach a low simmer.

Stir a few times until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Add the cherries and continue to simmer for ten minutes.

Give the sauce a taste-test to see if it has taken on a cherry flavor.

Pour out cherries and juice into a large bowl and cool to room temperature.

To speed up the process, place the bowl in the fridge for 1 hour.

Transfer into one quart jars or an air-tight container and refrigerate for at least three days to a week before eating.
