Thoroughly wash the hawthorn berries and remove any stems or leaves.

Place the cleaned hawthorn berries into a large pot. Add the water, granulated sugar, cinnamon stick, and cloves.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the hawthorn berries have softened and released their color.
