Yield
Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients
4 1/2 cups pitted fresh (or frozen, thawed) Bing cherries (about 20 ounces)
1 cup brandy or orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large heavy saucepan; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until cherries are softened and start to release juices, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cherries to a medium heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Simmer juices until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 15-20 minutes. Pour reduced syrup over cherries. Serve warm.
