3. Place 500 g cherries in the jar and pour in boiling water up to the neck (about 1.7 l water). Cover with the lid and leave for 15 minutes.

4. Drain the water into a saucepan, bring it back to a boil, and pour it over the fruit a second time for 10 minutes.

5. Drain the water into a saucepan (about 1.5 l), add 300 g sugar², bring to a boil, and boil the syrup for 3 minutes.

6. Pour the boiling syrup over the fruit right to the rim and immediately seal with the lid.

7. Turn the jar upside down, wrap it, and leave to cool for 24 hours. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 10 months, and keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
