Add a photoCiliegie Sotto Spirito in a large brandy glass along with the beautiful red colored Grappa after dessert as a special treat adds a very lovely touch to end of dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. of fresh dark sweet cherries
- 4/5 quart Grappa, or other liquor of your choice
- Distilled water, optional
- Sugar, optional
- OTHER THINGS NEEDED
- 1/2 gallon latched glass jar with a rubber gasket seal
Directions
- PREPARATION
- Wash the cherries and remove the stones (removing the stones is optional; however I find that the absorption of liquor is better). On the other hand, the cherries will become mushy in time. If you want the cherries to hold their shape, do not remove the stones but crush the cherries slightly with the flat part of a knife. This will allow more absorption but they will hold their shape better.
- ASSEMBLY
- Place the cherries in a large latched glass jar with a rubber gasket seal. Fill the jar with the Grappa leaving as little room for air as possible. Seal tightly and place it in a dark cool place.
- If you want to reduce the strength, or to make it sweeter, add some sugar to the distilled water and heat it until the sugar has melted making sugar syrup and add it to the Grappa. With 40% alcohol this step is not necessary; however this is a matter of taste. The sweetness of the cherries is sufficient and the flavor is natural.
- Allow the cherries and Grappa to stand for at least 4-8 weeks before drinking it. The longer you let it macerate, the stronger the taste will be and the pigments of the fruit will deepen the color.
- Note: Pour into smaller bottles. Design your own label and decorate your homemade Ciliegie Sotto Spirito. You will have a very special gift to give to friends and family.
