Ingredients
- One 12-ounce bag frozen cherries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 strips lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 ounces rum
- 1 ounce kirschwasser
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Put the cherries, sugar and lemon zest and juice in a large skillet and stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook until the cherries get juicy, about 5 minutes more.
