I have a huge crop of sour cherries.. has anyone ever preserved cherries in alcohol of one sort or another? I'm not set up to make wine.... several internet sites talk about dumping them in brandy or vodka... anyone have any experience with this/ have any comments? One tree the cherries are quite sour, the other the fruit is sweet enough to eat out of hand, though not nearly as sweet as a true sweet cherry like Bing.

This is super easy to make and delicious. Romanians make it at home all the time, from all sorts of fruits, but sour cherry is best:

By the way we use alcohol not vodka, not sure where wiki has its sources from. It's usually mixed with plain alcohol bought from the store or just left as such, no alcohol added and it will be slightly alcoholic from the fermentation.

Edit: Here's a youtube recipe too (it's in Romanian though, but it'll give you a good idea of how this works and it's easy to do at home):

Nah the sour cherry one is very yummy. For one thing it's not nearly as alcoholic as tzuica and slibovitza.

Be careful the cherry brandy doesn't cause you to make ridiculous plays that somehow always seem to work out.

thanks that's similar to what I've found on the internet, though much much more sugar..possibly depending on how sour the cherries are. Nice to hear that at least one person has positive thoughts about it all:)
