4 servings
- 1 lb frozen or fresh sweet cherries, pitted
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 ceylon cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 strip orange zest (about 3 inches), pith removed
Ingredient noteThis recipe uses the peel rather than the juice, and peel has very little of the acid that brings on reflux. The small amount here is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid orange peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 pinch salt

Add the cherries and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are tender and the liquid has reduced by about half and coats the back of a spoon, 15 to 18 minutes.
