Ingredients
- 1 cup (200 grams) fresh cherries
- 2 cups (360 grams) sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) maraschino liqueur or kirsch
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) almond extract
- Juice from 1 lemon
Instructions
- Wash the cherries and remove the pits, leaving the cherries whole. Place them in a 1-quart sterilized jar.
- Add the sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, about 8 minutes. Turn off the heat. Stir in the maraschino liqueur, almond extract and lemon juice.
- Pour the syrup over the cherries and stir to coat. Cover the jar with a lid and let cool completely before refrigerating. Keep refrigerated, gently shaking daily to redistribute fruit and syrup, 1 week before using.

Made my first batch and will never buy store bought again!!!
Seems delicious. Luv cherries.
I am confused. It says that you need 2 one quart jars, but the recipe sounds like you are putting everything into one jar? Please help. Thanks
