Ingredients

• 4 c pitted cherries
• 1/2 c sugar
• 1/2 t cinnamon
• 1/8 t nutmeg, fresh ground
• 1/8 t salt
• 1 c water
• 1 1/2 T cornstarch

Directions

• Add cherries, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and water to a heavy saucepan over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 20 minutes.
• Make a slurry with the cornstarch and just a little bit of water, using a fork to stir it until combined. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir to incorporate.
• Cook for another five minutes over low heat, until the syrup has thickened enough to leave a trail when you pull a spatula through it.
• Pour into clean glass jars and seal. Once cooled to room temperature, store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
