Urmelis Amarena Cherries

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 400 g sour cherries, frozen
• 300 g sugar
• 120 ml Amaretto
• ¾ bottle of bitter almond flavor
• 8 drops of vanilla flavor
• 2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest period approx. 1 day; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 day 50 minutes

with a “good” shot of Amaretto

Place the frozen cherries in a saucepan with the sugar and heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly. Over time, the sugar will dissolve and a liquid will form. This must then be reduced over medium heat until syrupy. To do this, simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. The temperature must be adjusted from time to time; it should not simmer too much, but also not too little. Now gradually stir in the Amaretto, wait a while, then add more Amaretto. Stir in the flavorings and lemon juice as well. The mixture must simmer gently over medium heat. Feel free to test if you have enough Amaretto every now and then and use less according to taste. After another 10 minutes, transfer the cherries to one or more jars and seal immediately. You can now refine creams, ice cream, or cakes into real delicacies.
