Time P1DT25m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds fresh sour cherries
1 (1.75 ounce) package fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell® Pectin Light for less or no sugar)
3 cups white sugar
⅓ cup amaretto liqueur

Steps:

  • Inspect 5 cup-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Wash and pit the cherries. Chop them finely. You should have about 5 cups. Place cherries in a large saucepan and slowly bring to a boil over low-medium heat. Stir in pectin and slowly bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil on high heat and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with a ladle or a large spoon.
  • Remove from heat and stir in amaretto liqueur.
  • Ladle sour cherry jam into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

AMARETTO SOUR



Amaretto Sour image

Jeffrey Morgenthaler, the bar manager of Pépé Le Moko and Clyde Common in Portland, Ore., enjoyed amaretto sours as a young man. As a bartender, he embarked on a project to make a better version of this often-mocked drink, which was typically composed of just amaretto and sour mix. He boosted the alcoholic strength by mixing in nearly a full ounce of overproof bourbon, replaced the sour mix with real lemon juice and added an egg white - a common ingredient in many sour recipes from the past. Given all the alterations, he might have given the cocktail a new name, but decided against that. "There wouldn't have been any point," he said. "There's a big difference between if I took this drink and made it good, and if I invented a new drink with amaretto. The latter wouldn't have the same gravitas."

Time 10m

Yield 1 cocktail

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 ounces Amaretto
1 ounce simple syrup (dissolve an equal amount of sugar in water)
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a shaker add the ingredients along with ice and shake well.
  • Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice and garnish with an orange slice and cherry.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Pre-packaged juices can have a bitter taste that will overpower the other ingredients in the cocktail.
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water. Allow the syrup to cool completely before using.
  • To make an egg white foam, separate the egg white from the yolk and whip it in a cocktail shaker until it is stiff. You can add a dash of cream of tartar to help stabilize the foam.
  • Garnish your amaretto sour with a maraschino cherry or a lemon twist for a classic presentation.
  • Serve the amaretto sour immediately after making it, as the egg white foam will start to break down over time.

Conclusion:

The amaretto sour is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and tart flavor, the amaretto sour is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give the amaretto sour a try. You won't be disappointed!
