Ingredients
- 500 Cherry sweet or sour, about 1 lb
- 325 granulated sugar about 10.5 oz / 1.5 cup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 star anise Note, larger
- 150 water about 5 fl.oz / ⅔ cup
Instructions
- Pit the cherries with a cherry pitter. Place in a large bowl. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and star anise. Stir well. Cover with a kitchen cloth. Let sit for 20-25 hours.
- Strain the cherries and reserve the liquid. Pour the liquid into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the water and the star anise that was already in the cherry bowl. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the syrup for about 15 minutes. The syrup should not thicken too much.
- Add the cherries and simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes or until the cherries are softer. The syrup should not be too thick, it should remain pourable. Remove the foam and the star anise from the pot.
- Divide the cherries into sterilized jars and pour the liquid over the fruit, they should be completely covered. Seal well.
- Let cool and keep in a dark cool place. They will keep for at least 3 months. You could can the jars, if desired, they will keep even longer. Once opened, keep refrigerated and eat within 4-5 days.
Notes
- Alternative spices: cinnamon stick, cloves (not more than 2), all-spice berries, cardamom pods.
