start by halving the cherries and removing their pits

combine water, vinegar, sugar and your optional spices into a pan and bring to a boil slowly while stirring to dissolve the sugar 

simmer for 5 minutes then remove from heat 

pack the cherries into a sterilized jar and pour over the hot liquid so the cherries are covered

close the jar immediately and store in the fridge once cooled down 

you can eat them the next day but they are best after a few days
