Let’s talk cherries! Cherry season is short, the fruit is expensive, and we usually have to buy more than we need. This is a great way to preserve our cherries and utilize them in many different ways. 

Ideas: 
Add cherries and syrup to your favorite BBQ using a 3 to 1 ratio. Example- 1c cherries and syrup to 3c BBQ sauce. 
Serve with a slice of cheese cake or over a scoop of ice cream.
