I was inspired by all of this cocktail cherry talk to bust open a jar of the cherries I cured in the sun in the summer of 2022 - see this thread for details: Sour cherry season - #59 by biondanonima
They are still chewy after over a year in their canning syrup - would definitely shorten the cure time if I do this again. Despite the less-than-perfect texture, however, they were still delicious over vanilla ice cream last night.
