Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet bing cherries, pitted and stems removed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey (or your desired sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, store-bought or homemade
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 strip of orange peel
- 1 cup bourbon (or any favorite whiskey)
Steps
-
Place the cherries in two clean pint-sized mason jars (or one large quart-sized mason jar). Set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together the water, honey, vanilla extract and honey until combined. Gently stir in the cinnamon strip and orange peel. Continue heating, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue simmering for another 10 minutes for the flavors to meld.
-
Remove from heat, and strain out the cinnamon stick and orange peel. Slowly add in the bourbon, and stir to combine.
-
Pour the bourbon mixture evenly over the cherries, then let the mixture cool completely to room temperature. Secure the lids on the mason jars, give them a shake, and refrigerate for at least 3 days before using. The recipe should last for up to 2-3 months.
