TIPSY CHERRIES (MADE WITH FRESH CHERRIES)
My daughter use to work at a fruit and vegetable stand which was absolutely wonderful. I always had a beautiful supply of fresh ingredients all summer long. One year, I got tired of pitting cherries and I found this recipe. It's been a family favorite since... the adult family members, that is! =) Enjoy as is, in mixed drinks, teas, fruit juices or over ice cream. My recipe using jarred maraschino cherries will follow in the comments section. So easy and delicious!

Steps:
- 1. Fill quart canning jar with cherries. Add sugar. Fill with liquor and seal securely with lid and band.
- 2. Shake every couple of hours until sugar dissolves.
- 3. Store in a cool, dry spot for at least a month. Tip the jar upside down and back again occasionally. You can eat them at any time, but the longer they sit, the better they get.
- 4. Makes a beautiful gift tied with a pretty ribbon and gift tag, especially when you have been invited to a party or as a hostess gift.

Steps:
- Drain half of the juice from cherries. Top off the cherries and juice with your favorite liquor. Refrigerate. That's it! Ready to eat in a few hours, but they get better as they sit for a day or two. If you find they are too strong or too weak, you can adjust with reserved cherry juice or more liquor.
