Having battled with the blackbirds to keep them from eating our cheries, we picked some today.
We froze some of them but decided to make some cherry vodka.... This is the recipe - it's very easy
400g cherries
200g caster sugar
70cl vodka
Slit the cherries, but don't half them. Put in a pan with the sugar and 150ml of water. Heat, stirring gently until the juices run and the sugar has dissolved. Let it cool, then spoon into a jar. Add the vodka and mix well. Seal and leave for 4 weeks to let the flavours steep. You can put the jar in the freezer for ice cold vodka and it won't freeze.
I had a little taste first and it was delicious, so after 4 weeks it should be superb!!!!! (if it lasts that long).
