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.

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.

Peach and Cherry Whiskey Lazy Pies

 

Evan Williams apple whiskey I got just for cooking. House smells like apples. Instead of one or two tablespoons that I know previously will cook out, I used a half cup apple whiskey. Plus a little Jim Beam as a bracer because the apple is really apple.
