This makes a wonderful gift, especially around the holidays with its vibrant color. This should be stored for 8 hours before eating (in order for the flavors to develop) and last up to 1 week. It is lovely served over vanilla ice cream or used as a topping for cheesecake (or any other dessert).
Ingredients:
2 (17 ounce) cans sweet pitted cherries, drained
1/2 cup vodka
1/4 cup creme de cassis or 1/4 cup blackberry liqueur or 1/4 cup cherry brandy
1 tablespoon coarsely grated orange peel
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Directions:
1. In large bowl, combine all ingredients; stir until well mixed and sugar is dissolved.
2. Ladle mixture into one 24 oz. (1-1/2 pints) glass jar; store, tightly covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 week.
