Instructions

1. Put the rock sugar in a large, airtight container (I use a 1.8 liter mason jar for this)
2. Stone and add the fresh cherries. Frozen cherries can also be added without defrosting. Cut the vanilla pod lengthways and add it with the cinnamon stick, cloves and star anise (if used). Top up with the schnapps and kirsch and let it steep for about 6 - 8 weeks in a sunny place.
3. Sieve through a cloth.
4. Now add the cherry juice and then fill the liqueur into small swing-top bottles.
5. Store in a cool and dark area.
6. Tip. Depending on your taste, you can of course vary the spices and juice, if I know that someone doesn`t like anise, I just leave it out. You can also pick up the empty liquor bottle, rinse it and fill it with the liqueur
