Cherries in balsamic sauce with honey

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients. The first time I made it with sugar, but for people who don’t eat sugar, I made it with honey and really liked it.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the cherries, dry them and remove the pits

3. STEP 3

   

   Carefully cut into halves with a sharp knife

4. STEP 4

   

   Such a meaty and juicy beauty

5. STEP 5

   

   Distribute spices into prepared and sterilized jars (250 ml). (The first time I went too far with cinnamon and bay, so the amount in the recipe was reduced). But you can put it to your taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the cherry halves into jars

7. STEP 7

   

   In a saucepan, combine water, balsamic vinegar, salt and honey (or sugar). Bring the marinade to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the hot marinade over the cherries so as to completely cover the berries.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place a cloth napkin in the bottom of a wide pan of hot water. Make sure that the temperature of the water in the pan matches the temperature of the jar with the preparation, otherwise the jar may burst. Immerse the jar in water up to the shoulders and cover with a lid. Bring the water to a boil and sterilize the workpiece at a gentle simmer for 5-8 minutes. Remove and screw on the lids.

9. STEP 9

   

   Turn the jars over, cover with a warm blanket and leave to cool.

10. STEP 10

    

    Serve pickled cherries with cheeses, pates and meat dishes.
