Liqueur cherries
Similar to griottine cherries. Takes a while to mature, but well worth the wait, and a great way to preserve.

Place (A) into jars, pour the hot syrup (B) over and allow to cool for 24 hours. Add (C) and stir well. Allow to mature for 3 months.
Small Contribution. Big Impact.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
