I do not drink much, but this looked like fun, creative, tasty party item.

Did some soaked in rum and dipped in chocolate for Christmas many years back!!
Bet these would be tasty!!

Just a note of historical interest..."Maraschino cherries originated in Yugoslavia and northern Italy about 200 years ago. Merchants in these regions used a sweet cherry called the Marasca cherry as the base. They let it soak in maraschino liqueur until it was ready to be used as a tasty treat. These true maraschino cherries didn’t make it to the U.S. until the 1890s."

"During Prohibition in the United States as of 1920, the decreasingly popular alcoholic variety was illegal as well. Ernest H. Wiegand, a professor of horticulture at Oregon State University (OSU), developed the modern method of manufacturing maraschino cherries using a brine solution rather than alcohol.[2][12] Accordingly, most modern maraschino cherries have only a historical connection with maraschino liqueur."

Some people do this with Bourbon and sugar. But I believe the idea is to let it sit in the jar for several months. (As I recall from listening to "The Splendid Table" on NPR years ago.)

All the sugar would make me sick 🤢

Looks delicious
