This was really easy and simple to prepare and I loved it very much. I didn't have a cinnamon stick so I used 1 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon and found that this was enough.

This is light and fruity, and oh, so good. It's also very quick and easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used a 1lb. bag of frozen cherries and cooked them for a few extra minutes. Thanks so much for posting. I will make this again!

WOW. This is WONDERFUL! I made 2 servings which ended up filling three 1 cup ramekins. I used frozen cherries... so cooked them a few minutes. We ate this with some spicy food to help cool it off. This tastes very holidayish but is also very refreshing for the summer. I will be making this again. Thanks Syd! Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

This is so good! I had some frozen cherries left over from last summer, and this was a perfect recipe for them. I had to guestimmate on sugar, since the cherries were already frozen in a simple syrup. I also put a little of this over some vanilla ice cream...awesome! Instant cherry-vanilla ice cream. I could also see stirring in a little plain yogurt. I'm betting that would be good too.

All I can say is. AWESOME. This would be absolutely incredible in the summer. I even ran accross Cherries on sale at a new grocery store that I had to mystery shop. A definite make again. Leanne
