Instructions

1. The washed cherries are pitted and approx. 3 cm. thickly filled into a tall vessel (e.g. RUMTOPF glass). Then add a layer of sugar, then a layer of cherries, etc. Finally, a layer of sugar and the spices are added.
2. The cherries are covered for about 5 weeks (with a loose plate, for example) in the sun and stirred daily. This creates a natural fermentation process, which then turns the cherry juice into alcohol. The process is over after approx. 5 weeks, then nothing foams any more. The cherries and the resulting liqueur are not good until November.
3. Shake cherries taste delicious with ice cream, pudding, eggnog or in mixed drinks that you would make with cherry liqueur.
