Directions:
Bring water to a Boil then add clean, steam and pitted,( 3 cups) Rainier Cherries (any cherry would work)

Let mixture come to a boil and continue to boil until the cherries start falling a part. Add the Vanilla or almond extract if desired. If your cherries are not as sweet as you would like add 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir frequently to avoid scorching. I also stir the cherries to help break them down.
