Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 cup Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
  • 1 lb cherries, pitted and stemmed

Instructions

  • Combine water, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer. Stir occasionally as the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur and cherries. Stir to coat all of the cherries in the syrup. Cook for 5 minutes to soften the cherries slightly. 
  • Turn off the heat and allow the cherries to cool. Once cooled, store in the fridge in a tightly sealed jar. 

Notes

  • Readers have let me know that they've used frozen organic cherries in this recipe (instead of fresh) and that it has turned out well! So when cherries aren't in season, or maybe don't look so great, you can still make this recipe and enjoy!
