I hate wasting food, and when I saw
all that good cherries attached to the stones
after doing chilos of jam
I thought it was such a pity throwing away
everything.
sooo, I made a liquor!
Cherry Stone Liquor
you need:
450gr di cherry stones
500gr di spirit at 95°*
for the syrup:
300gr of sugar
800ml of water
pute the cherry stones in a jar and fill with the spirit
leave in the sun for 10days.
prepare the syrup:
boil the sugar in the water for 10-15min
until it melts completely
pour the boiling syrup over the cherry stones**
let cool till the day after.
filter very carefully 2-3 times.
use paper filter,
that takes longer but is more accurate
let rest for at least 1 months.
but is a fact, the longer the liquor
leaves to rest, the better it get
(and less alcoholic!)
conserve in a dark, cool an dry place
brigidaa_te:
* if you can’t find 95° spirit
you can also use the one
for desserts at 70°
get’s even better!
I don’t use it because it is rather
difficult to find around here.
**
I usually recommend NOT to pour boiling syrup
over the marinates.
that is because the boiling syrup
makes your liquor cloudy.
in this case I needed the cherry flesh to
separate from the stones.
I wish you a nice week
this is me today
I took my men to lunch in a Trattoria
near Monte Baldo
they were all afraid they’d had to
walk a lot, but when they saw me
arriving in SANDALS they were all happy
MEN!
