Cherry Vanilla Syrup
Bursting with the sweet, fruity flavor of fresh cherries and a hint of warm vanilla, this easy syrup recipe is perfect for coffee, cocktails, pancakes, ice cream, and so much more.
Servings: 6 ounces
Ingredients
- ¼ cup organic cane sugar
- 6-7 whole cherries pitted
- ¼ cup cherry juice
- 2 tbsp filtered water
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the organic cane sugar, pitted whole cherries, cherry juice, and filtered water.
- Simmer and Infuse: Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
- Infuse Cherry Flavor: Continue to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, allowing the cherry flavor to infuse into the syrup. Use the back of a spoon to lightly press down on the cherries to release more of their juice. Avoid letting the mixture boil vigorously.
- Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste.
- Cool and Store: Allow the syrup to cool completely. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cherry solids, if desired, for a smoother consistency. Store the Homemade Cherry Vanilla Syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
