    Traditional Cherry Limeade Recipes are usually filled with artificial flavors and colorings, not this recipe and honestly, how pretty is that color?

    First, you’ll want to pit the cherries and then place into a small saucepan with a bit of water.

    Then you can add the sweetener. Since we’re making a cherry syrup we use cane sugar, but you can leave that out for a thinner syrup and use stevia, or your favorite sweetener to taste.

    Boil the cherries and let the syrup thicken. Once it’s thickened you can blend it all in your blender (we use a high-speed blender) and then strain.

    If you don’t want to add the cherries you can leave them out, but it won’t have that rich cherry flavor. We sneak out a few to put over our morning oatmeal, my goodness so good!
