Cook syrup
Combine cherries, sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves, bring to a gentle simmer and cook 6–8 minutes until cherries release their juices and the liquid slightly thickens.

Finish and strain
Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, let cool 10 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a container, pressing on solids to extract syrup. Refrigerate. Yields about 3/4 cup; keeps 2 weeks.
