Cherries preserved in liqueur

Description

In ancient times, it was hard to keep all the flavour and nutritional values of summer fruit intact during winter, but our ancestors had several brilliant solutions for the problem: jams, syrups and liqueurs!
Cherries in liqueur are made with white and red Vignola cherries: a variety with a particularly sweet and firm pulp. Freshly picked cherries are preserved in a mixture of alcohol and a drop of Grappa, which adds a sweeter, more delicate note to the flavour.
Cherries in liqueur can be a delicious dessert to enjoy at the end of a meal, a perfect way to decorate other desserts by adding a fresh, alcoholic touch to their taste, or just a little sweet treat.
They are lovingly prepared in the craft shop “Il Bicchierino”, in Soragna (PR).
