Homemade Luxardo Cherries

by Charlie McCarthy, Sr.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 stick cinnamon
• nutmeg
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cups Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
• 1 lbs cherries

Recipe

1. Combine water, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer. Stir occasionally as the sugar dissolves.
2. Add the Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur and cherries. Stir to coat all of the cherries in the syrup. Cook for 5 minutes to soften the cherries slightly.
3. Turn off the heat and allow the cherries to cool. Once cooled, store in the fridge in a tightly sealed jar.

Enjoy!
