Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups sour pitted cherries, cleaned and carefully picked over (buy 2 lbs of fruit to account for stones and bruised pieces)
1/2 cup blanched almond
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp brandy (or raki) or 3 tbsp grappa
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 stick cinnamon
2 pods star anise

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 500°F.
Sterilize your 1 pint jar by putting it in the oven for at least 30 minutes. Carefully remove with tongs, and be careful not to touch the jar.
Combine all the ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring gently but continuously. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring often, for 8 – 10 minutes until the cherries are slightly wilted.
With a slotted spoon, remove the cherries and almonds to a sieve over a bowl, but leave behind the cinnamon and star anise. Raise the heat to medium and reduce the liquid for 5 minutes. Pour in the cherry juices that have accumulated in the bowl, and reduce for another 5 minutes or until well-thickened.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Remove the spices and discard. Stir in the cherries and almonds and spoon into a sterilized jar or jars.
