Chuck Hughes is a fun French Canadian Chef and this is his recipe for a super sweet drink with homemade cherry syrup. A treat for kids and grown ups alike. Enjoy! Ingredients:
4 cups of coca-cola or similar cola drink |
2 cups fresh cherries |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup water |
vanilla ice cream (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Pit all cherries and cut into quarters, leaving a few whole for garnish.
2. In a saucepan, mix the cherries, sugar and water. Bring heat to medium high and stir, slowly reducing the liquid. Skim the surface of the syrup once in a while.
3. Once liquid has reached a syrup-like consistency, about 25 minutes, remove from heat. Set aside to cool for 1 hour. Put in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator.
4. In a frosted mug, add a scoop of ice cream, pour 1 tablespoon of the cherry mixture and top with coke. Garnish with fresh whole cherries.
5. Note: For a drink, remove vanilla ice cream and add a splash of spiced rum.
