CHERRY BOUNCE LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Thoroughly clean a 2 quart container with a secure lid. I use an apple cider jug that has been cleaned very well.
• Clean and stem cherries, if using fresh cherries. Thaw if using frozen.
• Crush cherries a bit to release flavor, keeping all juice and adding to container.
• Place remaining ingredients in container.
• Shake until sugar is dissolved.
• Keep in a cool, dark place shaking once a week for 3 weeks to 6 months. The longer it sits, the better it gets.
• Strain and bottle into clean containers of your choice. I use empty beer bottles with a hinged cap.
• Serve as an aperitif, a digestif or in lieu of a dessert wine.
• Also makes a great gift if you can stand to give it up.
