Heart Cherries in Sugar

4 servings

Ingredients

• thick black heart cherries (as needed)
• vinegar (a little)
• sugar (as needed)
• cinnamon (a little)
• cloves (a little)

Instructions

1. Pit thick black heart cherries, place them in vinegar for a day and a night, and drain them on a colander.
2. Then layer them with sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a glass and place in the sun.
3. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, pour the juice into a pot, let it boil, and briefly cook the cherries in it, then refill into the glass and pour the somewhat thickened, cold juice over them.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
