Cherries

July 18, 2018

This past week we tried out using the cherries. We did a little Cherry Jelly.  

I read about Cherry syrup that could be used on Ice Cream, Pancakes 

or mixed with soda to make a cherry drink. 

My sweetheart loves Cherry-limeaid so we tried to make some. 

I read you are suppose to cook down equal parts: cherries, sugar and water. 

I did closer to 3 cups cherries, 2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, then after straining it, 

mixed it with equal parts syrup and soda, and the juice of a lime or two. 

 It was a hit so we made more. 

Today the girls picked A LOT of cherries and 

we canned 7 quarts of cherry syrup and put another couple in the fridge.

The cherries are about gone now, but my sweetheart can enjoy it a little longer.

Now I want to try to make homemade cider :)

I guess I will have to wait until fall to try that though.
