This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Is there a more classic look than a bright red maraschino cherry garnishing a hot-fudge sundae? Make the cherries en masse at home so you can top off sundaes and garnish Shirley Temples at will.

1 teaspoon alum

directions
Pit cherries and soak overnight in a brine made of salt, alum and a quart of water. The next day, wash cherries until the salt taste is gone.
Bring three cups water, sugar and food coloring to a boil. Add the cherries, remove from heat, and let stand 24 hours.
The next day, bring the cherries and syrup just to a boil, adding the almond extract and lemon juice. The two optional ingredients may be added at this point.
Pack the hot cherries and syrup in small, sterilized jars and seal.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
