- cherry-965 g;
- sugar - 965 g;
- water 165 g;
- a generous handful of walnuts;
- cardamom - 2 grains.

Berry pick, spoiled immediately you can throw. Remove the tails, rinse and gently remove the stone from each berry. You can use a special device to extract pits, but given that the white cherry is rather tender, it is better to use a hairpin in this case. Immerse it with a round end into the base of the stem, turn around and pick it up and gently remove the stone.
