Ingredients

Syrup Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen cherries
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • vanilla extract (Splash of vanilla)

Directions

  1. 1

    Add cherries and honey to a medium sauce pan. Heat on low until the cherries have thawed - no need to stir, just make sure it doesn’t come to a boil at this time.

  2. 2

    Once thawed, turn up the heat to a low medium. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add to a mason jar with the remaining ingredients and blend with an immersion blender. You can also use a blender or food processor, but I recommend not blending until smooth - you will still want some cherry chunks in there. Too smooth and the strainer will clog.

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture over a strainer into another jar. Store in the refrigerator and enjoy!
