Homemade Cherry Syrup Recipe
Made with either fresh or frozen cherries, this sweet Cherry Simple Syrup can be used to craft delicious cherry cocktails and mocktails.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1.5 cups sweet cherries, fresh or frozen
Instructions
- If using fresh cherries, remove the pits. (You can skip this step by using frozen cherries since they’re already pitted.)
- Combine water, sugar, and cherries in a small pot over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce to low heat and let mixture bubble until it starts to foam, about 5 minutes. Using a potato masher, crush the cherries to release all of their juices.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Pour the cooled mixture through a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl. Discard the cherry pieces.
- Store your cherry simple syrup in a mason jar or other glass, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Cherry syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
