How to Make Dark Cherry Cream Syrup

  1. Strain the syrup from one (15-ounce) can of dark sweet cherries into a medium saucepan. Reserve the cherries.
  2. Bring the cherry syrup to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the volume is reduced by half (approximately 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Gently stir in 1 cup of reserved dark sweet cherries, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Continue to boil for 3-5 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
