Easy Homemade Cherry Syrup
AKA Summer in a jar, this Easy Homemade Cherry Syrup is a beautiful thing to have in the pantry to use in all sorts of baking, to add to lattes and more! You can use really any berry you like and the same quantities and ratios will still apply. For some fruit like blackberries you may want to add a few tablespoons more of sugar to balance the acidity!
