So nice to read about those with cherries to spare. I have picked, stoned, made jam and frozen about 10 kilos. I would love a recipe for cherry brandy or liqueuer as couldn't find one on web site for cherries. I make a filling for a sponge flan or a meringue pavlova as follows. Simmer some stoned cherries with brown sugar, half a star anise, a stick of cinnamon, and some white wine (cheap will do). When it is almost cooked boil rapidly until the sauce is thick. Cool and remove spices and use and enjoy. Add whipped cream to sponge or pavlova first for a real treat. (Am on the raw food diet but when we have visitors I have a small piece of this!!!!!)
