Instructions
- To pit your cherries, turn them sideways, that way you will retain the stem. A CHERRY PITTER works perfectly, and is well worth having around.
- Layer the cherries along with the whole spices in a glass jar, or jars. If you are giving the cherries as a gift, you may want to position the spices along the outside so they can be seen. Fill 3/4 of the way with whiskey, and top off with the kirschwasser, if using. Make sure all the cherries are submerged.
- Cover the jars tightly and refrigerate. As long as the cherries are submerged in the liquid they will last up to 6 weeks.
Notes
- I recommend storing brandied cherries in the fridge or canning them in a water bath for 15 minutes, increasing that time at higher elevations.
