I always make this compote when American cherries are in season.

The alcohol will evaporate off, so this is delicious even for those who don't drink alcohol. For children, you can replace the white wine with water. Add the Kirsch before turning off the heat to evaporate the alcohol. By the way, you can also make this with Japanese cherries. Recipe by Pu-kosan

How to Pit Cherries

Put the cherries in a pot, coat with sugar and lemon juice, and let sit for 1 hour.
3

Put the white wine in a separate pot and bring it to a boil to evaporate the alcohol. Transfer into the boil from Step 2.

Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. When the edge of the pot begins to bubble and simmer, turn down the heat. Skim off the scum and foam from the top as it simmers.

When the cherries have softened, turn off the heat and add the Kirsch. If you simmer them for too long, they will fall apart.

Pour into a sterilized jar and store in the refrigerator once cooled. The flavor improves with time.
