A great Christmas Idea.

  • 1kg /2.2 table spoons of sweet cherries.

  • I large star anise or 2 smaller.
  • ½ stick of cinnamon,
  • 2 Cloves,1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

PROCEDURES

Store cherries with a cherry pitter, they should remain whole with only a hole in the middle.

Place in a large pot, a whole lot of foam will form with sugar once the cherries and suagr are cooking.

Step 3

Add sugar and stir carefully to mix. Add star anise cinnamon and cloves. Turn on the heat and heat gently. Stiring often but carefully until sugar dissolves completely.

Step 4

Once liquid starts to boil, stir the timer to 5 minutes . Simmer while stiring each minute in the 5.
