The most refined way to prepare morello cherries is the one I have described in the previous recipe. However, if you would like to eat as well as drink the fruit, as they do in some places, mix into the preceding syrup some cherries which have been prepared as follows:
Remove the stems and keep the cherries in the sun for five to six hours. Then put them on the fire with a small piece of cinnamon. When they have lost some of their liquid, add the sugar, stirring carefully so as not to damage the fruit. When they become wrinkled and turn brown, remove them from the fire and use them as I’ve just suggested.
