Looks amazing Angela! I used to make a nice red wine and port with my in-laws. I ate so many grapes I would get a stomachache! Lol I have some bottles of port that are 16 years old. I’ll be making your cherry liqueur! God Bless! 😃

I remember my mother used to make liquors around Christmas time, they looked and smelled delicious. We were too young to try it but desperately wanted to😁. Angela, you made me chuckle when you said that you were snacking on a few of the boozy cherries and started to feel lightheaded, yep that is something I would do to. I've never tried to make my own and had no idea it was that easy...have to give it a try. Thank you Angela for sharing your recipe with us. ❤😊

I made some last year with 2 types of cherries. i also made cherry extract to use for baking. I am now on a kick of doing my own extracts. Have 3 vanilla extract made with 3 different kinds of vanilla beans. It is an expensive hobby but I got hooked after I joined a vanilla co-op. 😆

That’s wonderful you make your own extract. I use to make my own but I use so much I couldn’t make enough ,so I stopped now I buy it.
