Cherry Bounce
Making now for the holidays. I'm using one bag frozen dark cherries but pitted fresh cherries are best. 2/3 cup sugar, 2 whole cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, 2-3 cups whiskey. Combine everything in a jar, shake, and store in a dark place at least 3 months. Shaking occasionally.

A Note - Please Stand By
All images on this site that were hosted on Kinja are now gone. Kinja is gone. Good news is some of it is a relatively easy fix and I have a lot of content saved on Twitter. Bad news is a lot of the content is gone forever. I think I am going to keep the old dead posts up so that I have a record of what once was there. I may in the future try to recreate some of those old posts because I always need new content here.

Chicken and Peppers 8/1/25
Still have a few Anaheim and banana peppers on the plants. 2 cans diced tomato, 1 big onion, 2 stalks celery, 2 cloves garlic, red wine. 3 big split chicken breasts. Smother with everything and cook in 350 oven 40 min. I serve it over rice but it is so much chicken I will also use it in salads and sandwiches.
Chicken Pepperoni. Brown the chicken in a heavy skillet. Add the onion, celery, garlic, and seasonings (thyme, cayenne, black pepper, salt, Greek seasoning, red pepper flakes) and cook 2-3 minutes, scraping up the burnt on chicken bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the cleaned peppers (cut in half and scoop out seeds and innards with fingernail) and cook 2-3 minutes more. Add the diced tomato and red wine and simmer 8-10 minutes, until some of the water and wine cooks out. I use half a bottle of those little Sutter Home Cabernet Sauvignon four packs you can get at the grocery. Scoop or pour everything on top of the browned chicken breasts and cook in the oven as above.
