BASIC RECIPE FOR BERRY SYRUP 
1 1/2 c. prepared berry or cherry juice
1 3/4 c. sugar

Combine juice and sugar in a large, heavy kettle. Bring to a full rolling boil; boil 1 minute. Count the time after the mixture comes to a boil that you cannot stir down. Remove from heat and skim off the foam. Don't boil too long or the syrup may jell. Pour into clean, hot pint jars. Adjust lids. Process in boiling water bath (212 degrees) 10 minutes. Makes 1 pint. Choke cherry juice is excellent in this recipe.
