Notes
Recipe for homemade cherry liqueur
Preparation:
- Pit the washed cherries.
- Place them in a shatterproof jar, sprinkle with sugar, and leave at room temperature for one day.
- When the cherries release their juice, pour over the alcohol. At this time also add a vanilla bean or a piece of cinnamon bark.
- Seal the jar tightly and set aside for a month.
- After this time, press the soaked fruit using a fruit press, or simply enjoy it. The latter option is much more tempting and lets you feel the true power of wonderfully aromatic cherries.
- After pressing, leave the liqueur to clarify, and when sediment forms, gently decant it into bottles.
Enjoy! ...because homemade is better!
