As cherries keep coming and ever more delicious, we propose another cherry recipe, and this week with a twist!

Since cherries are seasonal, therefore hard to store, our grandparents found clever and mouthwatering recipes to preserve them, to keep savoring them in winter time as well. It is in fact the case for this recipe for cherries in Moscato grappa.

For this recipe, cherries are harvested by hand in order to have a product perfectly ripened, keeping an excellent quality and processing within hours of harvest.

Ingredients:

  • Cherries 320 gr
  • Moscato Grappa
  • brown sugar

Directions:

Add a natural syrup made from delicate Moscato Grappa, which is obtained by slow distillation of Moscato d'Asti pomace.

The result is preserved cherries which have the same characteristics of fresh ones, with unique properties and the special grappa aroma enhancing their flavor.

Cherries in Moscato grappa are a traditional recipe, as our grandmothers used to make.


Tasting suggestion: Excellent with ice cream or perhaps paired with a glass of grappa!
