Ponderings of that #KyTravelGal

February is the month for Cherries!

February is Cherry Month - all month long!  I love cherries and can remember when I was a young girl, climbing tall ladders in my grandmother's neighbor's yard to pick the beautiful, red and sweet fruit with my mama on warm summer days.  I can't think of a single cherry treat I don't adore, and since we are in Kentucky, I thought I'd share my recipe for Bourbon Soaked Cherries, or "Drunken Cherries" as my mama used to call them.  Here's my recipe - always use a higher proof bourbon such as Four Roses Single Barrel (100 proof).  
2 Cups of fresh cherries - washed and pitted with stems on (use a cherry pitter for this, makes things easier)
1 Cup high proof, good quality Kentucky Bourbon
2/3 Cup of dark brown sugar
Optional - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 or 2 glass mason jars with lids, cleaned with hot soapy water and rinsed well.
  1. Pack pitted cherries with stems in the jar(s)
  2. Heat the bourbon until hot on the stove or in the microwave and stir in brown sugar until it is completely dissolved. 
  3. Add the vanilla (if using) and stir. 
  4. Pour the bourbon/brown sugar mixture over the hot packed cherries.
  5. Place lids on the jars and seal.
  6. Refrigerate for at least one week, up to 1 month and enjoy! 

If you make the recipe, take a photo of your process, finished product or even how you use them (Can you say - Old Fashioned?") and tag us on social media and your post will show up in our gallery!  Let us know what bourbon you used! #kytravel #kytravelguide #bourboncherries #drunkencherries #oldfashionedfromscratch #betterinthebluegrass #chicgourmet #kytravelgal #gotolouisville #fourrosesbourbon
