Preparation In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the fruit solids. Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Step It Up For a deeper, more lush cherry flavor with more sweetness than bite, substitute sweet dark cherries for the sour cherries, or try a mix of the two to suit your own taste preference. Pour this syrup over a scoop of chocolate ice cream to mimic the flavor of chocolate-covered cherry cordials. Or stir it into milk for a Valentine's Day breakfast treat.
