Chokecherry Syrup     

Ingredients:
8 cups chokecherries
1 cup water
sugar

Preparation:
Extract the juice: bring the water to a boil, add the chokecherries, cover, simmer for 30 minutes, and strain (yield about 3 cups).

Make the syrup: add sugar equal to the juice, bring it to a boil, and boil gently (uncovered) for 15 minutes (yield about 1/2 the original amount of juice).

The syrup is easily canned: pour into hot pint jars and process for 10 minutes.
