Best Liquori Casalinghi Cherry Liqueur Recipes
LIQUORI CASALINGHI (CHERRY LIQUEUR)
Italian Cherry Liqueur. Perfect after dinner cordial, to be enjoyed with friends or to be given as a gift. You can use a bottle with a tight fitting cork or screw top. Wax seals add a nice finished touch. A tablespoon added to pie crust has phenomenal results. Very easy recipe... the hardest part is waiting 6 months for the maceration. Be sure to shake it up when you check on its progress.

Steps:
- You will need to crush the cherries along with their pits. I found it was easiest to use a heavy duty extra large zip lock, adding a handful of cherries at a time, and smash each cherry with a hammer. Be sure to crust the pit well. Push the pulp to the bottom of the bag and add the next handful.
- Leave covered in a dark place for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, boil the water and add the sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Put cherry mixture in a fine muslin bag, or use a fine sieve, and squeeze the juice into a bowl.
- Add the cherry juice to the sugar syrup mixture and set aside to cool.
- Add alcohol to the cooled cherry syrup.
- Pour into a jar with a tight fitting lid and place in a cool dark place for one week.
- After one week, filter into a cool looking bottle, seal, and age it for at least six months before you pop the top.
JEREZ CHERRY LIQUEUR
This is a great Cherry Brandy recipe from Spain. All you need is 2 One Quart jars or two pretty bottles that will hold a quart each and about 6 months. The cherries are the most delicious part of this recipe -- be sure to eat them. They are great with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. The recipe was given to me by my friend from Jerez (Spain). That Amaretto is optional, but highly recommended.

CHERRY LIQUEUR
My mother makes this all the time, she used to test my boyfriends' mettle by offering them some of the liqueur in a small shot glass, with a cherry on the bottom. If they survived the potency of the drink (she would really age it) then she would evilly say, "Bite into the cherry." If they survived that then they were good enough for her daughter.
