I had bought two huge bags of cherries, probably about 6 pounds,
brought the lovelies home,
washed them and stashed them in the cold box.
So here we are about a week later,
and they're starting get a little shriveled,
unappealing to the mister k~girl.
I have a nice sized bowl of them still left and we have been so busy,
I haven't had a chance to cook with them.
For some reason I started to think about Christmas gift giving, why?
Oh yeah, I know, my husband announced that I need to attend a ladies luncheon with his bosses' wife… ARGH! A Hostess gift…
HEH! (did you hear the light bulb switch on)
How about this
His friends all LOVE Vodka
Macerated Cherries
I just de-stemmed them but did not pit them
I "Googled" and found that I don't need to "can" them,
just make sure that the fruit is completely submerged and hide away for one month
What do you all think?
Would make a great Martini in the dead of Winter, Plop a fresh cherry into your guests glass ... stirred not shaken ..
