Red Wine Cherries

Ingredients

• 1 kg sour cherry
• 500 ml sweet red wine
• 100 g whole cane sugar
• 2 Cinnamon sticks
• 4 tbsp amaretto

Instructions

1. 1.

   Rinse the cherries, remove stems and place them in clean canning jars. Pour the red wine with sugar and cinnamon sticks into a pot and heat. Cook over high heat for about 3 minutes until the sugar has fully dissolved. Stir in the amaretto.

Sterilize the jars with red wine cherries in a preheated oven at 80 °C (convection: 60 °C, gas: level 1) for 25 minutes.
