I don’t think it’s a secret at this point that I love to cook. Or that I’ve started canning with a vengeance. I think I can hold my head up and declare this summer’s fruit bounty fully explored here at the Reeve house. There are still some fruits left to experiment with this summer, but it’s been a huge success. And yes, I still keep forgetting to take more photos! H and I are just having too much fun.

So yesterday I posted the sour cherry liqueur I’ve started aging for the upcoming holiday season. Today I thought I’d post the sweet, dark cherry liqueur recipe I’ve got aging right next to it. For the sour cherry recipe, I didn’t pit the cherries. For this recipe, I pitted the cherries and smashed some of the pits with a meat tenderizer to get the almond flavor (that’s what you see floating in with the cherries). I can’t wait to compare these side by side.

I have so many recipes to share! I’ve done a lot with fresh fruit this summer, and I’m loving it. I haven’t tackled peach season yet, and of course when fall arrives bringing apples I will be all over that action. I love canning, and baking, and I love summer. So I’m doing another week of recipes. Not all fruit-related, but I really need to catch up with these posts before summer ends.

We’ll be spending some time in the UK this summer introducing H to the family and going to my brother-in-law’s wedding. It will be a ton of family and friend visiting time and a whole lot of driving, but we’re hoping to squeeze some sightseeing in there, too. So I have a wishlist of stuff to do and see. We’ll be crisscrossing the country, from London to Manchester to Sheffield to Bristol and Bath, then back to London. So, there’s a lot I want to do this visit!
