Directions

  1. Wash and pit the cherries. In a large salad bowl, prepare a strong solution of citric acid (1 sachet per kg) and immerse the cherries in it gradually to prevent them from turning brown. ≈ 8 min
  2. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and cook until you have a thick syrup.
  3. Drain the cherries and place them in the syrup along with the vanilla and lemon juice. ≈ 2 min
  4. Cook over high heat without stirring, until the sauce thickens and starts to drip heavily from the spoon.
  5. Skim the mixture by gently shaking the saucepan: the foam will collect in the center and can be easily removed. ≈ 3 min
  6. Cover with a damp dishcloth and let it rest overnight, then pour into jars.
