It's Harvest Time

They have waited in the cool and dark cellar.

They have waited 2 years to see the light of day.

Soaked in Gin (sometimes Vodka)  for many a month.

They were beautiful and red once. 

Watched over by our owl. 

When she doesn't show up the birds make the cherries disappear in short order.

Now all bottled up and waiting for a party.

Also tried pears this time (same recipe)
  It's even better than Kirschwasser

Will share with friends.

Thank you for visiting dear friends.  
Have a great week ahead.

Nectar for the Gods

Cherry (Kirschwasser) and Pear Liqueur

Our sour cherries are ripe

We can only eat so many Cherry Pies

I can only wear so many Cherry Earrings

The rest go into bottles to make Cherry Liqueur

Use the same recipe for Pear Liqueur

Fill quart canning jar halfway with fruit

Pour simple syrup (1 cup sugar plus 1 cup water, heat until dissolved) over fruit until jar is 2/3rds to 3/4 full

(adjust to your taste)

Fill to top with vodka.

Place in cool spot and turn bottle every now and then.

Enjoy at Christmas time.

Have a great weekend my dear Blogging Friends
