Servings: 3

 

Ingredients:

1 pound pitted cherries (any kind will do, but I used Rainier cherries)

3 1/2 fluid ounces lemon juice (juice from about 3 lemons)

Peel from one large orange

1/2 cup pomegranate juice

pinch of salt

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups water

1 whole piece star anise

Equipment:

sauce pan

bowl

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, add everything except the cherries. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved, stirring periodically. Add the cherries. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes or until the syrup has a bit of a cherry flavor. (Yes, tasting is part of the recipe. This is the rough part. :)) You don't want to cook the cherries - you just want to bring out some of their flavor. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the entire contents to a bowl (so it doesn't continue cooking). Let cool to room temperature. Transfer to an air-tight container and refrigerate. Wait about three days and then top your cupcakes, shakes, ice cream sodas, sundaes, Shirley Temples, and anything else you can think of with them.
