Delicious sour cherries, vyssino, are the foundation of this traditional Greek fruit preserve. Whole, pitted cherries are preserved, not candied, floating in an all-natural syrup of sugar and water - no preservatives or additives at all, just simple island sweetness. Vyssino is an all-natural alternative to maraschino cherries and are a childhood favorite, whether served as a spoonful on a small plate or in a tall glass of iced water for a special summer treat. Spoon sweets add versatility to your pantry, great as a quick topping on yogurt or ice cream or in your morning oatmeal.
