Poached Cherries

1. 1

   Pit the cherries and combine them with 1/2 cup of water in a medium saucepan; turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are very tender, about 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Stir in the sugar and the cinnamon if you are using it; taste and add more sugar or lemon juice if you like.

3. 3

   Cool, then chill and serve the cherries cold, with their juice.
