To a small bowl, add the sugar and lime zest. Using your fingers, massage the sugar and zest together until fragrant and evenly incorporated.
To a small saucepan over medium low heat, add the cherries, sugar and zest mixture, and water. Cook over medium low heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the cherries have softened and begin to break down. You'll want to mash them a bit throughout the cooking process using a wooden spoon or similar utensil.
Strain the cooked syrup to remove the solids, using a spatula or spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Move the to refrigerator to cool. Once cooled, squeeze in the fresh juice from your zested limes.
