- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes (plus 24–48 hours marinating)
- Yield: About 4–6 servings 1x
Ingredients
1 cup fresh cherries, pitted
1 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1 cup whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Cherries
Wash and dry the cherries thoroughly to avoid watering down the syrup.
Step 2: Pit the Cherries
Use a cherry pitter or small knife to carefully remove the pits.
Step 3: Make Cinnamon Syrup
In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and cinnamon. Stir over medium heat until dissolved (3–4 minutes).
Step 4: Simmer
Let the syrup boil gently for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 5: Cool the Syrup
Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes—warm, not hot.
Step 6: Coat the Cherries
Add cherries to the syrup and stir gently to coat.
Step 7: Add Fireball
Pour in the Fireball, vanilla, and salt. Stir carefully.
Step 8: Store
Transfer to a clean jar, making sure the cherries are fully submerged.
Step 9: Marinate
Seal and refrigerate for 24–48 hours for best flavor.
Step 10: Serve
Serve chilled. Top with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For a softer cinnamon flavor, reduce the ground cinnamon to ¼ teaspoon—or spice it up with a pinch of cayenne for a bold twist!
