Hello! 

Right now, the nature is overflowing with delicious, gorgeous berries of all different kinds. When I was younger we used to have all sorts of fruit and berries in our garden,  plums, cherries, apples, pears raspberries, strawberries and many more even. Today, the diversity of fruit and berries is a bit smaller than it used to be, but a proud cherry tree it still standing strong in the middle of the garden. I've always had a thing for making things myself, so naturally I couldn't resist trying to make something of these beautiful berries. Because cherries really are pretty. They vary in colour, from deep, almost blackish red to very bright red and shine with a special glow. 

However, this post will be about the process of a few of these berries, in the making of cherry lemonade. Some of the photos are of lacking quality, but I do hope you are able to sort it out anyway. 

The full harvest. We only took about 1 liter berries and froze the rest for future use.  

Hair-piece comparison! They look quite alike, but my hair-piece has slightly larger berries. 

Boiling berries. 

Slightly boiled berries. 

Very boiled and strained berries with lots of sugar. 

Finished product. Such a lovely dark red colour. 

Pinkish red cherry bubbles. 

My boyfriend took about three times as much lemonade needed and mixed with water. Atleast it made a really pretty colour. 

Cherry lemonade for your traditional Swedish fika, this time a tiger cake with chocolate and banana. 

Now, I wish I could say something like '"homemade always tastes the best", but to be honest.. I think I messed my lemonade up *sigh* 

I didn't add enough sugar I think, and I strained it incorrectly, so there's tiny pieces of cherry in it now.. But I have lots of cherries left in the fridge and I am determined not to give up yet! Cherry lemonade is way too good to give up.
