If you want to make cherry liqueur, then now is the time to do it. Yesterday I was shopping at Whole Foods and I noticed that dark, sweet cherries were $4.99/lb. The price doesn’t get any better than that and they looked ripe, juicy and sweet! I decided that now is the time to make cherry liqueur.

I have tried making dark cherry liqueur in the off-season with frozen cherries, but the results were not as good as when I used fresh cherries.

So I spent the afternoon pitting cherries and prepping a batch of dark cherry liqueur for this season:

If you want to make a batch, you can find the recipe here.

This is my recipe for lemon-limeade. It is quick and easy and best of all, it’s fresh. I buy limes and organic lemons from a local grocery store and keep them in the refrigerator. I also have a Lime Squeezer and a Lemon Squeezer to make the job go fast. The amounts can easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled for a larger batch.

Lemon-Limeade is a very delicious and refreshing … especially on a hot summer day!
