I made brandied cherries last night using this recipe:
1½ pounds dark, sweet cherries, pitted
scant ¼ cup sugar
¼ cup water
½ oz fresh lemon juice
1 small cinnamon stick
¼ cup + ½ oz brandy
Combine the sugar, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low; add the cherries and simmer for five minutes. Remove from the heat, remove the cinnamon stick, and stir in the brandy. Allow to cool completely before placing in a jar.
They are quite nice, they will go in my Manhattans!
