This is a great Cherry Brandy recipe from Spain. All you need is 2 One Quart jars or two pretty bottles that will hold a quart each and about 6 months. The cherries are the most delicious part of this recipe - be sure to eat them. They are great with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. The recipe was given to me by my friend from Jerez (Spain). That Amaretto is optional, but highly recommended.
Ingredients:
1 quart bing cherry, no stems
750 ml fifth v.o. brandy
1/2 lemon, cut into two slices
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons amaretto (optional)
Directions:
1. Pierce each cherry three to four times in a row (up and down)on one side of the cherry. I used a sharp skewer. Remove Stems.
2. Fill each jar half-full with the cherries. Place a lemon wedge in each jar and top each with a tablespoon of sugar and two tablespoons of Amaretto.
3. Fill jars with brandy. Screw lid on tight and shake to combine.
4. Put in a cool dark place for 6 months.
