1
Prepare the Cherries
Wash the fresh cherries under cold water. Remove the stems and pits, then slice the cherries in half.
2
Make Cherry Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the halved cherries, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Thicken the Syrup
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the simmering cherry mixture while stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
4
Add Flavor
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
5
Serve
Once cooled, serve the cherry syrup over your favorite desserts or enjoy it as a topping for ice cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
