Recipe for Cherry Liqueur |
||||
This easy to make liqueur can be crafted with simple ingredients in your kitchen. This can be used 'as is' or in combination with other concoctions such as homebrew (see later in the article). | ||||
Cherry Liqueur Recipe Directions: In a large saucepot, combine the cherries, raisins, sugar, lemon juice, honey, and water until boiling. Use a wooden spoon to stir and smash up the cherries. This will be thick, so stir constantly. Reduce heat to medium, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool. Pour into a large mason jar or glass container. Fill up to the top with rum. If you want to make it extra special, substitute Cherry Brandy for the rum. Seal with a lid and store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. Be sure to strain the liqueur before serving or using in a recipe. You can use either fresh cherries (be sure to wash them), or you can also use frozen cherries (thaw first and save all juices). Slight alternatives to the recipe including using sweet cherries instead of the black cherries. You could even add a little candied ginger to the jar before sealing up. These will give you a slight difference in the final taste. Cherry liqueur is very easy to create, and it’s great in a number of dessert recipes and drinks. Thicken it up with a little cornstarch and corn syrup and serve over vanilla ice cream! Also good in mixed drinks (especially with champagne drinks!). You can add the sugary cherry mixture (before adding the rum and bottling) to a wheat beer recipe or other light beer recipe prior to the fermentation stage. We’ve even made a cherry stout which was excellent!

Recipe of the Month: Rib Eye Steaks with a Soy and Ginger Marinade |

Rib Eye Steaks with a Soy and Ginger
Marinade This is one of those great summertime grill recipes. Try substituting your own favorite homebrewed beer in the recipe.
I personally enjoy an Irish red ale with most cuts of meat, so I'd use that in the recipe and also to drink alongside dinner. However, a nut brown ale might blend well with the maple and ginger. Bon appetite!
