Add the entire can of cherries with the juice and the sugar to a small saucepan. Attach a candy thermometer if you have one. Bring the mixture to a **boil over medium-high** heat, stirring occasionally. 2. Reduce the heat and simmer with bubbles until the mixture becomes foamy. You want the temperature to get to ==225°F== and you don't want the syrup to caramelize. The cherries start out a bright light red/orangey color but will slowly turn a dark red color and shrivel slightly. This is what you want! Whether you are using a thermometer or not, you are looking for a honey-like consistency and color change to know when the cherries are done. This took about **35 minutes** for me. 3. Transfer the cherries and syrup into a sealable jar and allow them to cool before putting on the lid. You can refrigerate the cherries for up to a year Source: https://emilyfabulous.com/amarena-cherry-recipe/
