Ingredients
- 700 cherries fresh, stalks removed and pitted, weight in grams not specified
- 2 orange zest thick strips, peeled off
- orange juice juice of 1 orange
- ¾ granulated white sugar 155 grams
- 1 cup port wine 250 ml, good quality
- 2- star anise pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 vanilla bean split and seeds removed (if you don’t have a vanilla bean, use 1 tsp vanilla extract but add this at the end)
Instructions
- Remove the stalks and pips from the cherries and set aside
- Measure the orange juice in a jug and top it up with water to reach 1 cup (250ml). Add this to a medium-sized pot along with the sugar, port, star anise, orange zest, cinnamon, and vanilla pod.
- Bring this to a boil stirring to dissolve the sugar and then add the cherries. Cook for 3.5 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon and place them in the sterilized jar.
- Cook the port syrup for 10 minutes over low heat allowing it to thicken. Once cooked add the vanilla extract if you did not use a vanilla pod.
- Remove the aromatics from the liquid and pour this into the jars with the cherries. Seal the lid and turn them upside down for a few minutes until cool.
- Store them in the fridge until you use them.
- *If you want to preserve these cherries for longer, follow the process to properly seal and boil the jars.
