Sour cherry liquor

Home made liquor just as my mum used to do it. A traditional treat in many greek houses for visitors on celebration days.

The recipe is very simple. In a big jar we put 1 kilo of fresh sour cherries, 1 kilo of sugar, 1 liter of brandy or other spirit, such as "tsipouro", a cinnamon stick and 10 cloves. Stir carefully to dissolve the sugar and let it in a sunny place at least for a month.

You can strain it in bottles and you can serve the sour cherries as decoration at the bottom of the glass. I also like to use it over fruit salads. Divine!!!
