This Delicious Homemade Maraschino Cherry Recipe is so easy, yummy and perfect for drinks and toppings, you’ll never want to use the store bought stuff again!
I love kitchen gadgets! One we use quite often is the Sodastream I bought last year. (I just looked it up on Amazon and the Sodastream is on sale for $54.99 right now.) I absolutely love it for making homemade soda. I don’t particularly care for the Sodastream brand beverage flavors, though I did notice they have a new line of “Naturals” that I am interested in trying.
For the most part, to flavor my soda, I use homemade syrup or fresh fruit. (Sometimes for myself I’ll use the flavored water enhancers.) Hands down, my favorite addition to our drinks is this Homemade Maraschino Cherry Syrup!
It’s so easy to make. A couple of ingredients and a few minutes over the stove will reward you with these yummy homemade maraschino cherries and delicious syrup. (This cherry pitter is next on my kitchen gadget wish list!)
Of course, the kiddos love it too. (Add ginger ale and a squirt of lime juice and you have a homemade Shirley Temple!)
