How to Make Liquori Casalinghi Cherry Liqueur
- Crush 2 lbs of fresh cherries, including their pits, using a heavy-duty zip-top bag and a hammer. Work in batches for easier handling.
- Ensure each cherry is thoroughly crushed, releasing as much juice as possible.
- Transfer the crushed cherry mixture to a large bowl and let it rest, covered, in a dark, cool place for 24 hours.
- In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 2 cups of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let the sugar syrup cool completely.
- Meanwhile, strain the macerated cherries through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing firmly to extract all the juice.
- Gently combine the cherry juice with the cooled sugar syrup.
- Add 1 cup of high-quality vodka or brandy to the cherry syrup mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a clean, airtight jar (glass is best).
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place for one week.
- After one week, carefully filter the liqueur through a coffee filter or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Seal tightly.
- Allow the liqueur to age for at least six months in a cool, dark place before serving. Shake gently every month.
- Once aged, enjoy this delicious liqueur neat, on the rocks, or use it to elevate your desserts! Optional: Add a wax seal for an elegant finish.
