Sour cherry is a small wild black cherry (Prunus Cerasus) The well-ripened sour cherry fruit is washed and dried. It is then placed in jars that are filled with sugar. The closed jars are placed in the sun on wooden boards for 38-45 days. During this period, the sun provides for the slow dehydration of the small fruits and the dissolution of the sugar, aided by the dexterity of the man who diligently moves the jars every two days throughout this period This forms the natural syrup that is also the governing liquid of the dehydrated sour cherries. It is a unique product not only because of the special processing but also because the syrup that is formed is made only of its own juice, without water.
