Step 1- Pit your cherries, I advise a nice Netflix series you want to binge watch because this is tedious! I have a cherry pitter which makes things slightly less horrible.

Step 2- Pour your cherries in a large pot.

Step 4- Add your sugar and rose water.

Step 5- Now add your water

Step 6- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the preserve to thicken.

Step 7 - Depending on how thick you like your preserve to be will decide how long you cook it. It will take probably at least 45 minutes to get the cherry juice/water/whatever to get a nice syrupy viscosity.

Step 8 - Once the cherry preserve has reached your desired thickness, pour it in a jar and serve with some delicious bread and jam.

*Alternatively* You can use these preserved cherries to make albaloo polow or you can take the juice and make Sharbat-e-Albaloo which is a future post :)*
