Quick syrup cherries in jar cooking in the microwave, a way to cook fruit in a jar that, like these jar-cooked syrup peaches, can be preserved for many days under vacuum. During the summer, I always take the opportunity to cook fruit in jar cooking and then serve it with ice cream. In winter, I make jar-cooked apples and jar-cooked pears, while in the summer I also take the opportunity to make jar-cooked apricots. Great for filling cakes, delicious on vanilla ice cream. With the same procedure, sour cherries can also be made in jar cooking. The important thing will be to pay attention to the power for cooking fruit in jar cooking, which must be reduced compared to the tested power.

Ingredients for a jar of cherries
- 4.59 oz cherries
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or erythritol)
What you need
- 1 Microwave
- 1 Jar 500 ml with thin seal
Preparation
Wash the cherries well and dry them. Make sure they are intact. Place the cherries in the jar and sprinkle the sugar over them. Clean the rim of the jar well and close it with the lid, seal, and clips.
Set the microwave to reduced power, I use 440 watts out of 600 tested power, for 5 minutes, insert the jar, and start. At the end of the cooking, remove the jar from the microwave and let it rest closed for at least 20 minutes.
When the jar-cooked syrup cherries are at room temperature, you can store them in the refrigerator for 10 days under vacuum. When you want to serve them, pull the seal, stir, and serve.
