Place the water and sugar in a pot and place over high heat. Bring to the boil.

Add the lemon zest and cinnamon stick and continue to cook until syrupy.

Add the pitted morello cherries and cook until quite viscous, but not falling apart; there should be almost no syrup left, just enough to hold the softened cherries together.

Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and cool until ready to serve.

Maggie”s Tip: As fresh Morello cherries are hard to obtain, choose highest quality bottle or tinned Morello cherries. Deep coloured cherries seem to be the best quality.
