Ingredients:

Directions:
Combine water, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer. Stir occasionally as the sugar dissolves.

Add the Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur and cherries. Stir to coat all of the cherries in the syrup. Cook for 5 minutes to soften the cherries slightly.

Turn off the heat and allow the cherries to cool. Once cooled, store in the fridge in a tightly sealed jar.

If canned using water bath method, fill the jars with hot cherries and liquid and processed them for 15 min. (Pint jars)!
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
You can use frozen organic cherries in this recipe instead of fresh, so when cherries aren't in season, or maybe don't look so great, you can still make this recipe and enjoy!

You can make this with sweet or sour cherries, depending on your preferences.
