One of the most popular drinks in the old days and today is considered cherry filling. Perhaps many housewives are familiar with the process of preparing alcohol, if not in practice, then at least in theory. And there are many recipes for this extraordinary drink. Do not just confuse it with wine made from cherries. In the manufacture of liquors, alcohol or vodka is used, while wine is prepared practically without alcohol (except in rare cases for a fortress). How is cherry filling done at home?
To enjoy the perfect cherry drink, you need a little: the berries themselves, diluted alcohol or vodka and sugar. The strength of this drink directly depends on the amount of added alcohol. If we want to get a ladies' drink, then we need to add very little vodka, respectively, the fortress will be small. The amount of sugar can also vary. It all depends on taste and desire. And here is a moment that will please many: the removal of seeds is completely optional.
Cherry at home
When making a drink, the main thing is not to be afraid to experiment, because there are many options. We will use the simplest or classic. Cherries are poured into a wide-necked dish and sprinkled with granulated sugar. In the classic version, 5 tablespoons per liter of capacity. But recall that the amount of sugar depends on your taste. As for the berries, they need to be taken so much that it is not at the very top, but about a third. Further, the entire contents are poured with alcohol (vodka or diluted alcohol). If you decide to add alcohol, then you need to breed it only with clean, not tap water. Then the container is tightly closed and put in a dark place for 2 months. Shake contents regularly. After two months, the liquid must be filtered, the berries removed, and pour the finished liquor into a suitable container. If the drink turned out to be quite strong, it can be diluted with cherry juice. The taste of this will not change, and the strength will be less.
Cherry liqueur at home is prepared according to a slightly simplified recipe. A three-liter jar must be filled with two-thirds of the berries and pour them with diluted alcohol (at the rate of one to three) to the very neck. Next, tie the neck of the jar with gauze and put in storage for three months. When time passes, the resulting liquid must be drained, add sugar to taste and heat to a boil (do not boil!). Then cool and pour into prepared bottles. Cherry homemade filling is ready.
Everyone can choose their favorite recipe, especially since the variety is simply amazing. Some lovers do not use fresh berries, but cherry jam when preparing the liquor . And this is a little wrong, because the refinement and originality of the drink is given by natural fruits.
Cherry liqueur, prepared at home , can be used for various desserts, baking. Among friends it is always nice to drink a glass of a fragrant drink. After all, the cherry liquor, the preparation of which does not require special efforts or financial investments, will raise the mood and warm the soul.
