This is a pretty quick recipe, if you don't count the months of waiting. Good things come to those who wait, though, and a liqueur made with vodka and ripe bing cherries definitely falls under the "good things" category.

ingredients
1/2 pound bing cherries
1/2 pound granulated sugar
2 cups vodka
directions
Pick plump, shiny, well-colored fruit with green stems, avoiding dark colored stems. Season is late April to August. DO NOT rinse until use. Use cherries as soon as ripe. Wash, stem, and towel dry cherries and place in a jar. Pour sugar over the cherries, followed by the vodka. DO NOT mix them.
Cover with lid and store on a shelf for 3 months without disturbing, then strain. Liqueur is ready to serve. Recipe can be varied with extracts (chocolate, mint, orange, etc). Add approximately 1 teaspoon of extract to finished liqueur and let sit for another few weeks. Experiment with small portions of flavorings to find your desired taste. Container: Wide mouth quart jar.
