She was inspired by thinking that these glowing ones we know of must have been trying to imitate something better. Sure enough- the ones we know are bing or some sort, BLEACHED and DYED. Yuck! She found the traditional maraschinos are as they are called, and picked and soaked in a brine made from the same fruit, liqueur maraschino. Now that sounds better. I'm hoping to find a tree this weekend- I think I know of one... As I was picking cherries with a friend today, she was telling me about making her own maraschinos.

We have been buying maraschino cherries from Whole Foods sparingly. Though local, they are expensive! I can't wait to try these instead. We traditionally make Old-Fashioneds on Christmas Eve. Now I can see how it could be a summer drink as well. Thanks so much for this recipe. We have been buying maraschino cherries from Whole Foods sparingly. Though local, they are expensive!

I would barely heat the cherries after adding them as I would expect them to soften with time, exude their juices, take in the spices. Let me know if you try. Sally, thanks, I look forward to hearing about surprises you pull off. Val, I bet you could can them.

I've stuck to that, but I have to say these sound good. Truly. I can think of all kinds of ways to surprise people, and myself, with these. I'll try your recipe, and thanks.
