Ingredients

Method

Snip off top half of each cherry stem; prick each cherry with toothpick.

In each of seven 1-cup (250 mL) sterilized jars, place 1 cup (250 mL) cherries and rounded 2 tbsp (25 mL) sugar; pour in brandy, covering cherries. Seal jars tightly. Shake gently to dissolve sugar; repeat occasionally during next 24 hours.

Store jars in cool dark place, turning periodically, for at least 2 months or for up to 12 months.
