Cherry Bounce Cherry Cobbler

 

What to do with the booze cherries left over from making cherry bounce for the holidays? Cherry cobbler with boxed mix. Milk, butter, can of fruit or fresh fruit. 375 oven 40-45 min. I have some vanilla ice cream left from ice cream pie.

Note - This recipe did cook several min. quicker even though I upped the milk to 3/4 cup like it said on the box for fresh fruit.

Cherry Bounce 12/25

 

Made this back in Aug. for the holidays. Turned out very good. Cherries, sugar, whiskey, cinnamon stick, 2 whole cloves. Let sit 3-6 months. I would have used a whole fifth of whiskey if I had known how good it was going to be. Mixing with ginger ale tonight. Also good in cocktails and desserts.

Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

 

Found online. 1lb. breakfast sausage. 1 cup cheddar. 8oz. cream cheese, softened. 1 can Rotel, drained. 1 1/2 cups baking mix. 1tsp. garlic powder, 1/2tsp. smoked paprika, 1/2tsp. black pepper. 375 oven, 18-22 min. Using Red Lobster biscuit mix for the first time. 

Cream cheese was too soft. Left it sitting on the stove, so they were wet when I rolled them, but they firmed up again in the fridge.
