  • This is a quick and easy method to extend the shelf life of your cocktail cherries by briefly heating and storing in a fortified syrup. The syrup will be close to 20% ABV and, once the cherries are finished, will make a delicious cherry liqueur. I like this method as the cherries still taste like fresh cherries... not candied cherries.
    If you want to get a longer shelf life from your cherries then you can use one of the two methods listed below. I used the Art of Drink method a few years back and still have delicious tasting cherries from that batch:

    Hi Steve. Very interesting. I have a morello cherry tree in my garden, which cherries I use to make my own cherry brandy. I pick the cherries when ripe and store them in a killer jar with layers of sugar. The sugar draws out the juice over the next few months to make a strong dark syrup which I then blend 50/50 with good cognac. Nick from York

      @Narmoriel42 2 роки тому +1

      Pastry chef perspective, but you probably wouldn't need more than 2% of the total weight (5-6g for this recipe). A little acid definitely goes a long way! You can also do a *tiny* pinch of citric acid, which would add more tartness without actual lemon flavor.

      The texture would be similar, but you might want to add some extra acid (lemon juice or citric) to amp up the flavor since many sweet varieties are also fairly mild.
