Day 21 - Boozy Preserved Cherries (Preserves)
This was one of my favorite experiments with cherries. I've carefully hoarded my stash and carefully dole it out, and plan to do so until the next season of cherries come around!
Boozy Cherries
You need:
8 oz cherries with the pits & stems attached
1 small bottle Jack Daniels Bourbon
1/4 cup Basil infused simple syrup*
Gently warm the bourbon and the basil simple
syrup in a saucepan on LOW heat (the bourbon can be volatile)
Wash and dry the cherries completely. Place in a 26 oz Weck Glass jar, pour the warm bourbon over the cherries and seal with the lid. Refrigerate for 3 days until the cherries have soaked up the bourbon while releasing some of their flavor into the alcohol. Use the cherries as a garnish for cocktails.

*To make the Basil simple
syrup, combine 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 a cup of water and a generous handful of
Basil (I used the purple variety, which tinted the simple syrup a beautiful
shade of pink). Bring to a gentle boil on low heat and simmer for about 10 - 15
minutes until the leaves have completely wilted and almost 'cooked' . Strain
into a glass bottle, store for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
