Drunken Pickled Cherries

Next on my list of awesome Christmas food and gifting ideas are these scrumptious Pickled Cherries.

I know, you’re like *yawn* not pickled cherries, everyone has done that.

Uh huh, but have they added a healthy slug of boozy flavour to those cherries?

Nuh uh.

I used some lovely fortified shiraz from the good people at Gomersal Wines and it elevates this dish to a whole new festive level.

Serve these cherries on a charcuterie platter, pair them with turkey or pork or top your pavlova with them.

I’m thinking of a fruity twist on a tiramisu, thanks to a suggestion from a friend.

This recipe makes about 4 cups so it’s perfect for filling pretty jars for gifting.

Enjoy!
