I was recently gifted with about 8 lbs of fresh cherries. My first
inclination was to make cherry jam. But, a decent enough version of that
can be purchased. I'm a fan of pickled fruits which are harder to find in
the stores. So, I found a recipe for pickled cherries.
After canning the pickled cherries, I had several cups of cherry and clove
flavored sweet vinegar. I recalled mention in the Florilegium of a drink
syrup along those lines. (Later located under "jalabs"). I experimented,
first adding more sugar and cooking it down. Later adding a tablespoon more
of red wine vinegar to the finished syrup, evidently I'd cooked all the
vinegar out trying to get to the syrup stage. I serve it diluted as for
senkajabin, 10:1. Yum!
