Glacé Cherries

Drain the cherries.

Combine the juice and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan, and cook over medium heat until the sugar is mostly dissolved (it should be more liquid than granular), 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the cherries to the pot, and bring the mixture just to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Simmer for 45 to 55 minutes, checking on the cherries and stirring them gently every 10 minutes or so, until they're slightly wrinkled and firm when you touch them with a spoon.

Remove the cherries from the heat, and use a slotted spoon or strainer to transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Nudge the cherries apart and let them cool completely.

If they are still very sticky, put them in an oven on the lowest setting for 1-2 hours. Let cool again.

Use cherries immediately, or store them in an airtight container, on parchment, in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
