Cherry Bounce anyone????

You take Cherries and put them in a glass container add sugar and set it in a dark place to ferment. About 2 months. then add whiskey (I use makers Mark) and let sit another 3-4 months........ I add a piece of vanilla bean. Then you enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.......

Al- so worth the wait...... so good!!!!!!!

The recipe we use was:

4 qts cherries (whole cherry, no stem)

2 cups sugar

 put the lid on (lose s gases excape)  and put in a dark cool place for I think it was 2 mos. rotate the glass jug once every 3 days, the cherries will shrink up and you will have about 1/4 jar of cherries and the rest will be fermented cherry juice. then we did a 1:2 ratio (fermented:makers mark) it was still pretty sweet so we cut it again 1:1, all most there. Going to tweek it some more this year. I also put a 1/2 vanilla bean in the mixture when I add the Makers Mark. Gives it a nice after after flavor. let it sit for another 3-4 mos..........

I'll keep better notes on this years vintage.......
