brandied cherries opus 2

Last years Drunken Cherries were good.  SO much better than the glowing red balls of chemicals normally found in jars.  Still, this year I wanted to try something else.  I was looking for cherries with even more flavor and a melt in your mouth sort of quality.  Behold

Brandied Cherries Opus 2

7 cups pitted pie cherries (the soft sour ones)

2 cups water

1 cup sugar

1 fat cinnamon stick

6 tablespoons brandy

3 teaspoons vanilla

 In a good-sized pan, over medium-high heat, bring water, sugar, and cinnamon to a boil.  Once the sugar is dissolved, add the cherries and and return to a boil.

Pour 2 tablespoons brandy and I teaspoon vanilla into the bottom of three pint sized jars.  Fill jars with cherries and top with liquid to within 1/2 inch of the top of the jars. 

The jars can be placed in the fridge and will keep for a few months, or can be water bath canned.  Process pint jars for 10 minutes.

My yeild was two 1/2 liter Weck jars of cherries and one more jar of juice.  Traditional pint jars are a bit smaller.

Why did I process the jar of extra juice?  For a Cherry Cordial.  More on that later.

I believe what you published made a bunch of sense. But, think about this, suppose you wrote a catchier post title? I am not saying your content isn't solid., but what if you added a post title to maybe grab people's attention? I mean Knit & Nosh: brandied cherries opus 2 is kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo's home page and note how they create article headlines to grab people to click. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people interested about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.
