Cherries In Red Wine

Ingredients

  • Sweet cherries - 1 pound
  • Water - 1 cup
  • Brown sugar - ½ cup
  • Red wine - 1 cup
  • Lemon zest - 2 tsp

Method

Wash the cherries and dry them. Remove the stems and pit the cherries.

In a saucepan simmer the brown sugar along with water. Then to it add red wine and lemon zest. Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat, stir occasionally.

Add the cherries to the mixture and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the flame and allow the mixture to cool at the room temperature. Once the mixture has cooled refrigerate it.

NOTE: By refrigerating the mixture the flavors will have time to develop and bend.
