Step 1

How to Make Cherries in SyrupIn a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil and sugars dissolve. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Place pitted cherries into sterilized glass jars. Pour hot syrup over the fruit, covering them completely.

Step 3

Tightly seal the jars. Wrap each in a clean cloth to prevent cracking, then place in a large pot filled with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove jars, let cool on a towel or rack. Store in a cool, dark place. Once sealed, they’ll keep for months.
