We picked over 30lbs of cherries and have a ton of juice I don't want to waste. Anyone have a good syrup recipe?!

From Carla Emery's book
For every 2c juice add 1 3/4 c sugar. Boil 15 minutes. Skim & put into sterilized bottles. Bottle hot and seal or cork, making sure the bottles are airtight. Because syrups may ferment after being open for 2 or 3 days, use small bottles.
I boil it down to the density I think looks right. Homemade syrup is soo much better than storebought. It actually tastes like the fruit you use. I always refrigerate the syrup after opening.

We have loads of blackberries, so I make a few bottles of blackberry syrup every year. We had a bottle of storebought that was left by a friend and decided to use it up. Yech!!. We threw it out instead, but saved the bottle.
