3/4 cup (4-3/4 ounce; 135g) sugar
Combine the sugar and water in a small heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Add the cherries; reduce the heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are very plump and soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Transfer the cherries (with their syrup) to a food processor, add the orange zest, if using, and process to the consistency of thick jam. The filling can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
