Calories:
- ½ cup granulated sugar

- 1 cinnamon stick
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch kosher salt

- 1 lb cherries, pitted and stemmed
Combine water, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer. Stir occasionally as the sugar dissolves.

- Readers have let me know that they've used frozen organic cherries in this recipe (instead of fresh) and that it has turned out well! So when cherries aren't in season, or maybe don't look so great, you can still make this recipe and enjoy!
