Let's cook with our recipes!
CHERRY VODKA
Steps:
- Pit and halve the cherries. As in all vodka recipes, it is important that the flesh of the fruit be somehow exposed.
- Fill a jar with the cherries, but do not pack it. Pour the vodka on top and seal tightly. Leave in a dark place, preferably for at least 2 weeks-or up to 6 months. At the end of that time, open the jar and strain. If you have a very fine-mesh strainer, that will do. If not, use an ordinary strainer lined with a cheesecloth or even a coffee filter. Set the strainer over a large bowl, ideally one from which you'll be able to easily pour afterward. Pour the vodka mixture through the strainer and allow the fruit to sit, seeping liquid, for a good hour or so, stirring a bit and pressing if need be to make the liquid go through.
- Now taste the vodka. Add sugar if you want an after-dinner liqueur, or leave it out if you want something sharper. Pour (or ladle) into a decorative bottle.

Steps:
- Heat chokecherry juice to warm (but not hot) temperature to help disolve sugar. There is no fermentation after the alcohol is added.
- Add sugar to warmed juice and stir until dissolved.
- Add Everclear.
- Stir, bottle, and let rest for at least one month.
- Serve cool.
Tips:
- Use ripe chokecherries for the best flavor. Wash and stem the chokecherries before using.
- If you can't find chokecherries, you can substitute another type of fruit, such as cherries, plums, or crabapples.
- Adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to taste. You may want to add more or less sugar, depending on your preference.
- If you want a stronger liqueur, you can increase the amount of alcohol in the recipe. However, be careful not to add too much alcohol, or the liqueur will be too strong to drink.
- Store the liqueur in a cool, dark place for at least 6 weeks before drinking. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Chokecherry liqueur is a delicious and versatile liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own, used in cocktails, or added to desserts. It's a great way to use up a bumper crop of chokecherries, and it makes a lovely gift for friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new liqueur to try, give chokecherry liqueur a try.
