Step 1
1. Sort the cherries, discard any spoiled or rotten berries, and remove the pits. If desired, you can crack the pits and add them to the liqueur—this will give it an almond flavor. I usually discard the pits.

3. Strain and press. (The leftover pulp can be covered with 0.5 liters of vodka and left to infuse in a dark place for 2 weeks.) Add sugar to the jar with the filtered infusion, close with a lid, and place in a dark place for 7 days. Stir periodically until the sugar is completely dissolved.
