Yield Makes 5 to 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups fresh or frozen sweet or tart cherries (1 pound), or a combination, or cherries and cranberries (we used Wyman's Dark Sweet & Red Tart cherries)
3 cinnamon sticks (each about 2 inches long)
1 bottle (750 milliliters) vodka, such as Smirnoff
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups Simple Syrup
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine cherries, cinnamon sticks, and vodka in a large non-reactive jar. Cover and let stand at room temperature 2 to 3 days. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving fruit. Stir in simple syrup and almond extract to taste.
  • Divide among clean jars. Add some of reserved fruit, if desired. (Remaining cherries can be refrigerated up to 1 month; send a small jar of extras along with the liqueur, or save them for yourself-they're great in Manhattans!) Refrigerate up to 3 months.
