Step 1

Add the cherries, organic cane sugar, and water to a heavy, wide saucepan and cook over medium to medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved and cherries soften and release their cherry juice, approximately 15 minutes. If you are using frozen cherries it will take a little longer to cook them.

Step 2

Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Taste, adjust lemon juice and sugar if needed.

Step 3

Allow the cherry compote to cool before transferring to a clean glass jar. Store in fridge for up to 1 week.
