In a medium saucepan, add water, organic cane sugar, and cherries. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat then lower to medium heat, stirring frequently until sugar dissolves into water.

Remove from heat once the cherries have released their juices and start to soften when gently pressed with a spoon. Allow syrup to cool completely to room temperature.

Strain simple syrup with a fine mesh sieve into a airtight container and discard solids or save them to use later.
