Prepare the Syrup:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 2 cups of sugar with 1 cup of water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar completely dissolves. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and let it simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, allowing the syrup to thicken slightly and develop a rich, sweet flavor.
-
Add Lemons and Ground-Cherries:
- Carefully add the juice of 4 lemons to the syrup, stirring well to incorporate the citrusy brightness. Next, introduce 1 1/2 cups of ground-cherries into the saucepan. Cook the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, or until the ground-cherries are tender and just cooked through. The total cooking time will be approximately 12 minutes from the start to ensure everything is perfectly melded together.
-
Cool the Syrup:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature. As it cools, the flavors will continue to develop, making it even more delicious.
Tips:
- Serving Suggestions: Drizzle this poached ground-cherry syrup over your favorite breakfast items like pancakes, waffles, or yogurt for a fruity twist. It also makes a lovely topping for desserts such as ice cream or cheesecake.
