Candied cherries are a delightful addition to desserts, cocktails, and even savory dishes. While red candied cherries are more commonly found, green candied cherries can add a unique touch to your culinary creations. In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to make green candied cherries from scratch.

What You Will Need

  • 2 cups fresh green cherries
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon green food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Step 1: Preparing the Cherries

Start by washing and draining the fresh green cherries. Remove the stems and pit the cherries if desired. Pitting is optional, but it can make the candying process easier.

Step 2: Creating the Syrup

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Once the mixture comes to a gentle boil, reduce the heat.

Step 3: Adding Color and Flavor

Now, add the green food coloring and almond extract to the syrup. Stir well to ensure the color and flavor are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4: Candying the Cherries

Gently add the prepared green cherries to the syrup mixture. Allow the cherries to simmer in the syrup over low heat for about 20-25 minutes or until they become translucent.

Step 5: Cooling and Storing

Once the cherries are candied, remove them from the heat and let them cool in the syrup for 10 minutes. Next, carefully transfer the cherries along with the syrup into a sterilized glass jar. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 24 hours before use.

Voila! You have successfully made your own green candied cherries. These versatile treats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

So, go ahead and get creative with your newfound culinary embellishment. Experiment with different recipes, garnish your favorite desserts, or simply enjoy them on their own. Green cherries will definitely add a touch of sweetness and elegance to your dishes.
