When I was 8 or 9 my mother decided to make chokecherry jam. When all was said and done, it never set up and was closer to juice. It went into the basement and was forgotten. Some 10 years later we were short on pancake syrup and a jar was opened to fill the need on curiosity. In that time it had fermented and formed a fine alcoholic substance in a syrup form. Pancakes have never been the same since we ran out. Not entirely sure how to do that over but it's well worth trying to simulate.
