DRUNKEN CHERRIES

Rinse the cherries and remove any bruised, soft, or damaged fruit.

Use a pair of kitchen shears to trim the stems to approximately 1/2 inch in length.

Pack the cherries into a jar, filling it tightly and to the top.

Use a funnel to fill the jar about 1/3 of the way with sugar.

Fill the jar to the top with vodka and seal the lid on tightly.

Shake and roll the jar in your hands until the sugar has dissolved.

Place the jar in a cool, dark spot for at least two weeks or longer, shaking or rolling the jar periodically.
