Zubereitung von Sour Cherry Spoon Sweet

Rinse 1 pound of sour cherries under cold running water in a colander.
Place the rinsed cherries in a medium bowl and add 2 cups of cold water. Let them soak for 2 hours.
Drain the cherries, reserving both the cherries and the soaking liquid separately.
Place the cherries in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Sprinkle 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar evenly over the cherries.
Add a pinch of salt and the reserved soaking liquid to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes without stirring, occasionally brushing the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystallization.
Remove from heat and let stand for at least 2 hours.
Return the saucepan to high heat and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface using a metal spoon.
Insert a candy thermometer and boil for 20 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 230-240°F (110-116°C).
Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and boil for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of Kirschwasser (cherry brandy) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Allow the spoon sweet to cool completely.
Once cool, transfer to an airtight, non-reactive container and refrigerate for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
