Recipe type: Liqueurs
Serves: 1 bottle
Ingredients
- cherries
- alcohol of choice
- sugar
Instructions
- Fill a jar with cherries.
- Add alcohol to cover all the cherries.
- Let sit for a week or so; by this time the cherries should have swelled and there should be less liquid in the jar.
- Pour off the liquid and reserve in a separate jar.
- a) Layer the cherries with sugar and let sit another week.
- b) Pour off resulting fluid into another separate jar.
- c) Repeat steps a) and b) until the cherries are so small that they're just basically the pit covered with a very thin skin.
- Strain and filter each reserved portion.
- Now mix all the batches that you poured off to suit your taste. The first is the bitter one, the last is the sweetest.
