It will provide you with simple, step-by-
step instructions for canning,
illustrated using photographs.
Infused cherries may be made with any one of your favorite liqueurs ; Grand Marnier, Armanac,
Cognac, Brandy, Cointreau or a little Tequila and Triple Sec.

For an unusual presentation, use the most beautiful canning jars you have and serve the cherries
directly from the jars with after dinner coffee. Let them sit for three months before opening for
the best flavor!
Use in-season, ripe, blemish free cherries. Read about canning cherries before beginning. For the
infusion, use your choice of Grand Marnier, Armanac, Cognac, Brandy, Cointreau, Amaretto,
1/3 Tequila and 2/3 Triple Sec or Cointreau Citrus.
1.  Wash and cut cherry stems.  Discard any
cherries with blemishes.

Note : Be careful when washing cherries to
discard any that float as they may have worms.
 2.  Prick each cherry with a sterilized needle and
place into canning jars.

Fill with desired infusion.

Clean the rim of each jar with a damp paper
towel.  Close and let fruit infuse in dark, cool
place for 3 months. Turn jars weekly for 1 month.

No sterilization is necessary.
