Homemade Cherry Liqueur

Ingredients

• 750 g sour cherries
• 200 g whole cane sugar
• 2 Cinnamon sticks
• 1 clove of spice nutmeg
• 500 ml clear alcohol (e.g., Korn)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash and pit the cherries. Combine them with the whole cane sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a jar, then pour the alcohol over to cover the fruit. Seal the jar and let it steep for at least 8 days, occasionally turning it upside down so the sugar dissolves.

2. 2.

   Strain the liqueur through a cloth‑lined sieve, squeezing out the fruit well, and fill decorative small bottles with the liquid. Optionally decorate with charms and cards before gifting. Store in a cool, dark place.
