  • 8 ounces dried cherries, tart
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, add juice and heat over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
  • Remove from the heat and add dried cherries. Allow to stand for 8 minutes to rehydrate the cherries.
