I finally found a recipe that thickens like syrup! Great on pancakes. Ingredients:
3 cups chokecherry juice (see first step) |
6 1/2 cups sugar |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. Wash chokecherries, place in a large kettle, barely cover with water and cook, covered, for about 30 minutes till the cherries are soft.
2. Mash gently and strain the chokecherry juice through a sieve or cheesecloth.
3. Pour 3 cups juice into a large kettle; stir in the sugar.
4. Cook on high, stirring constantly.
5. Boil hard for 1 minute.
6. Remove from heat and skim foam.
7. Add extract if using (almond extract gives a stronger cherry taste).
8. To can: Pour hot syrup into sterilized hot jars to within 1/8th inch from top.
