Recipe Notes
The "Rainier Cherry Juice" was a simple blend of Rainier Cherry and Water. You could technically do everything at once in the saucer if you'd prefer, but you would still need to blend the ingredients and strain. To avoid the inevitable hot mess and burn to myself, I blend it prior. I trust myself, but then I don't trust myself in a kitchen.
A ratio of 2 parts Cherries to 1 part Water is what I used to blend, and for 150 mL of juice, I recommend at least 2½ cups of cherries.
