Ingredients
- 1500 cherries 3.3 lb, sweet
- 300 granulated sugar 10.6 oz, 1 ½ cups
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 240 amaretto 1 cup, 6.8 fl.oz
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ¼ bitter almond flavor Note, ½ teaspoon
Instructions
- Stone the cherries with a cherry pitter. Place them in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the sugar, stir gently, and bring to a boil. Cook gently for about 15 to 20 minutes, the liquid should start to look like a light syrup.
- Add lemon juice, alcohol, vanilla extract, and bitter almond flavor. Continue cooking for 10 more minutes. Remove the foam.
- Divide the cherries between the sterilized jars and cover them completely with the liquid. Seal well and let cool. Keep in a dark cool place and let steep for about 3-4 weeks before serving. Once you open a jar, keep it refrigerated.
Notes
- Always use to taste, too much can be overpowering. If using bitter almond essence (which is stronger), start with 3-4 drops and only add more (if necessary) after tasting.
