Time 10m

Yield Makes about 1 cup cherries and 2 cups syrup

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups sugar
1 cup jarred unsweetened pitted sour cherries, plus 1 cup juice (from a 24-ounce jar)
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons cherry liquor, such as kirsch

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and cherry juice in a small saucepan. Add salt and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer 1 minute. Add cherries and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in Kirsch. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Chill for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe cherries: This will ensure that your cherries have the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality bourbon: The quality of the bourbon will greatly affect the flavor of your cherries. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat.
  • Use a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the cherries from burning and will allow the bourbon to evaporate evenly.
  • Bring the bourbon and sugar mixture to a simmer: Do not boil it, as this will cause the alcohol to evaporate too quickly.
  • Simmer the cherries for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the cherries to absorb the bourbon and sugar mixture and develop a rich flavor.
  • Remove the cherries from the heat and let them cool completely: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cherries to firm up.

Conclusion:

Boozy bourbon cherries are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be eaten on their own, used as a garnish for cocktails, or added to desserts. No matter how you choose to enjoy them, these cherries are sure to be a hit.
