This is a great recipe. I have currently made the following variations, same recipe, different fruit. Cherry, Blueberry, Strawberry, Mango, Passion Fruit, Dragon Fruit, & Blackcurrant. Pasteurized and also added Potassium Sorbate, these have been fridge stable for at least a month. I built a large vacuum filter using a bucket with tight fitting lid, a large sieve siliconed into a hole cut into the lid and a vacuum pump. I used a large nut bag in the sieve. I got a better yield. I'm now going to try and see if I get a better yield making a puree and using Pectinex, Chitosan and Kiesolsel, a Spinzall to centrifuge the juice.
@@Artofdrink thanks since I need to make soda for a friend's party and I want to be able to make it ahead of time without it going bad or taking up space in my fridge
Coming soon, the Italian Lemonade recipes come from an old soda fountain book and these syrups, though pretty standard for the time, were specifically called for in the Italian Lemonades.
On dry cherries, probably. But the percolator method is usually meant for dried substance that are hard to extract flavours from, like cinnamon or cloves, not fresh products that you can juice.
@@Artofdrink I am a bit confused about this suggestion. Are you saying to just replace the water in the diet simple with the liquid from this syrup? In that case, what would you suggest for the initial cup (240g) of sugar for the maceration? take that out of the 325g of allulose from the diet syrup or use an additional cup of allulose?
sorry Darcy but how to make it without fresh cherry? what compounds, flavouring agents or something can be used? where and how to get this info? Like you did with coconut flavour last video? )
Is it possible to add lemon juice instead of citric acid? Also, is it actually too much of a problem if it does ferment a little? I know bottles will pop, but a combucha jar won't.
You can add lemon juice if you like, you will need a fair amount of it as 1 oz (30 ml) of lemon juice has about 1.4 grams of citric acid. Adding that amount of juice will give the strawberry syrup a lemon flavour, which is fine if you like that. And 'fermentation will effect flavour and even kombucha jars can explode if the pressure gets too high. Just use common sense, or use the syrup up quicker.
I always wonder. Wouldn't be better to juice the fruit or to buy 100% juice if available and add sugar? I know it's much more expensive way. But is that the only reason we don't see this method?
Would it release too much cyanide to run the whole cherries through the vitamix on low? It would probably not pulverize the pits but it might knock some chunks off of some of them.
I wouldn't recommend it, here is an article I wrote on the topic years ago: www.artofdrink.com/science/cyanide-in-apricot-cherries-pits Plus, blending the fruit is unnecessary and creates a pulpy mess that is difficult to filter and really doesn't increase the flavour profile.
I would love to but the channel is still small. Feel free to share the videos on whatever social media platforms you use and as the channel grows I'll be able to publish more frequently. Cheers
Nice video, I will start using this method for other fruits as well! What is the ratio syrup/sparkling water, like for botteling or kegging?

This is what I like to see! Good job.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You got me started years ago making chocolate syrup and phosphates.
Thank you.
Thank you for your sharing.
How do I make syrup from dried jamaican Hibiscus?
Great video and thank you for sharing. Can i make a watermelon syrap with the same process?
Thanks, and probably, though watermelon has a light flavour, so your results may vary.
Can I use on snow cones?
Yes you can.
Are you able to just use lemon juice instead of the acids?
Yes
Can you do videos on making the fruit syrups to be shelf stable or recipe for them to where they won't go bad like how simple syrup is
I'll add it to my list. Cheers

Just can them ...water bath canning syrups (google)
Italian Lemonades video would be pretty interesting!
Coming soon, the Italian Lemonade recipes come from an old soda fountain book and these syrups, though pretty standard for the time, were specifically called for in the Italian Lemonades.
ohh, I wonder if I could do the same process with strawberries, I have lots of them growing
just saw that video link!
thanks
Please do a Japanese melon soda, would love to just make my own! It's impossible to find.
Hey man dont stop keep uploading
Can you freeze some to use later?
Sure
love what you doiing. can't wait for next video
Thank you!
Can you use the percolator method for cherries?
On dry cherries, probably. But the percolator method is usually meant for dried substance that are hard to extract flavours from, like cinnamon or cloves, not fresh products that you can juice.
Can you use monk fruit or something similar in place of sugar? Thank you!
Tes you can, I did a video on sugar free sweeteners and the one in this video will work ua-cam.com/video/2V9ZGT4ibhg/v-deo.html

Can you use the sodium benzoate solution we made in your other video instead of straight potassium sorbate?
Yes you can

The video is in the queue, and hopefully in the next month or two will get published. There are a few technique videos that need to come first.
@@Artofdrink thank you! all that you r doing is really usefull
So when you add the second measure of sugar, does that bring it to a simple syrup like consistency?
Yes

If i replace the Cherrys with another fruit would this recipe still work
Yes it should
Same recipe for blackberries?
Yes, it is
Sounds like fun! Do you ever make cherry bounce?
I have yet to make cherry bounce, though I've tried it a number of times and it is quite pleasant.
I always wonder. Wouldn't be better to juice the fruit or to buy 100% juice if available and add sugar? I know it's much more expensive way. But is that the only reason we don't see this method?
Prepackaged juice is not the best. It is often diluted, pasteurized and made with subpar fruits. Fresh or fresh frozen is always best.

can you please upload more often

@@Artofdrink ok thank you
One could use Cherry-Oil make an Essence and then a Syrup, right ? :o)
