Cherry Cordial:

Take a Glass Jar with a well fitting lid (if it has a metal lid it needs to be plastic coated, metal can spoil the taste of the alcohol).
Sanitise jar by Boiling in HOT water for ten minutes.
Layer Jar with cherries and fine sugar (the cherries can be whole or pitted)
Fill Jar with Brandy or Vodka
Seal and shake jar.
Place jar in dry, dark location, shake daily.
Once sugar has dissolved (this will take anywhere from 4 days to 4 weeks, depends on how much sugar there is), filter beverage into presentation bottle (make sure it's also sanitised!)

The result: a thick, reddish beverage that smells/tastes like cherries!

NOTE: the cherries, once removed, can be used on top of the dessert of your choice
