Brandied cherries recipe
Filed Under HOME & GARDEN | Leave a Comment
Use this fast and easy brandied cherries recipe if you have a huge load of cherries and want to conserve them as fast as possible. No need to take out the kernels when you preserve your cherries on alcohol.
Luckily my sister brought us the harvest of their cherry trees, so I had no reason to feel bored on this yet again another rainy summer day. And last year’s brandied cherries gave us the warm feeling the sun refuses to give us this summer.
Brandied sour cherries recipe
Ingredients
- 1 kg (2 pounds) sour cherries
- 300 gr (10 oz) fine sugar
- 1 l (2 pints) gin or "Holland Gin" (Dutch Gin - Jenever)
How to conserve your brandied sour cherries
Remove the stems and was the sour cherries. Put in an airtight goblet (we use the ones for sterilizing fruit): one layer of cherries, one layer of sugar, another layer of cherries…
Fill up your pot with alcohol until your pot is completely filled. Your cherry brandy will be ready in 4 to 6 weeks but we prefer to wait until a cold winter day to pop the cherries for the first time 
If you want, you can add some cinnamon sticks, but we prefer our Brandied cherries recipe without.

Why is it so cold?
Filed Under HOME & GARDEN | Leave a Comment
It’s July 9th and we just put on the stove in our house. It’s supposed to be summer yet the highest temperature we can get is 22 degrees.
Is the planet playing a trick on us? I mean winters aren’t as cold as they used to be, so global warming is there to stay. Especially when you know that the North Pole ice this year will disappear in summer for the first time!
Maybe it’s because the heat of the sun is needed to warm up the North Pole water, that we in the lower regions have less heat to share?
Maybe it’s just me wanting to enjoy my garden and not being able to due to rain every now and then. I do remember my hubbies holidays would start next week, and he always brought bad weather with him during his holidays
But what’s for sure is that our climate is getting extremely unpredictable!
