Prep tip
- Sour cherries are very juicy when in season. Place pitted ones in a sieve set over a bowl and let drain in the fridge. Use the sour cherries in our sour cherry pie recipe.
To make simple syrup
- Boil 1 cup sugar with 1 cup water in a small pot until sugar dissolves. Store in fridge up to two months.
