Homemade Maraschino Cherries using fresh sour cherries and Maraschino liqueur to create a delightful garnish for cocktails and desserts.
Sour Cherries, Pitted
0 oz
Maraschino Liqueur
0.25 fluid ounces
1. Prepare the Cherries
Select fresh sour cherries and carefully pit them using a cherry pitter or a small knife. This step is essential to ensure the cherries can absorb the flavors properly.
2. Macerate the Cherries
Place the pitted cherries into a mason jar and pour enough Maraschino liqueur over them to fully submerge the fruit. Seal the jar and refrigerate, allowing the cherries to macerate for two days.
3. Serve the Cherries
After two days of maceration, check to ensure the cherries are plump and saturated with liqueur. They are now ready to be used as a garnish for cocktails or as a topping for desserts.
