Part I – Candied Cherry

Directions: Drain liquid from jar of cherries and fill with amaretto liquor, soak for two days. Mix together sugar, cream, butter, and 1 Tbs. of amaretto. Take cherries out of jar, save liquid for another recipe. Dry each cherry gently and then cover with a marble size of the mixture, place on a wax paper lined baking tray. Refrigerate for an hour.
