Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wash and pit the cherries. Either pit vertically to remove the stem or pit horizontally to keep the stem intact.
  • In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine the cherry liqueur, sugar and tart cherry juice. Stirring to dissolve the sugar. When it just begins to simmer, remove from the heat.
  • Add the cherries and let cool to room temperature before storing the cherries and the juice in a lidded jar in the refrigerator.

Notes

Sugar is optional, but makes a sweeter cherry.  
Tart cherry juice is optional, but it adds even more cherry flavor. 
These should keep in the refrigerator for several months.
