Grenadine
  1. Remove the peels from 4 oranges and 4 lemons, then add them to a pot with the pomegranate juice and sugar.
  2. Bring it to a boil on the stove, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat, then strain the contents, leaving the peels behind, into a jar.
  4. Once cool, cover the jar with a lid and keep in the fridge.
Maraschino Cherries
  1. Combine the sugar, tart cherry juice and lemon juice in a pot.
  2. On the stove, bring the contents to a simmer and mix here and there. Once the sugar is fully dissolved, remove from heat.
  3. Once fully cool, add in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. Pit fresh cherries (save the stems if you wish for garnishing later!)
  5. Add the cherries to a large jar and pour the syrup over top. Allow the cherries to marinate overnight in the fridge for best results!
