Approximately 15 washed and pitted fresh cherries
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 egg yolks

Instructions

) Put water, 1/4 cup sugar, and cherries in a small saucepan over high heat until water begins to boil and sugar is dissolved.
) Turn heat to low, add vanilla. Let cook, stirring intermittently, until cherries have cooked down and liquid has become syrupy. (This can take about 20 minutes)
) While cherries are cooking, mix milk, half & half, and cream together.
) Add sugar and eggs and whisk together well.
) Put milk mixture into gelato maker and begin freezing according to instructions.
) Put cherries in freezer and wait until cool
) When milk mixture is halfway hardened, stop freezer and add cherries and syrup from pan.
) Continue freezing in gelato maker until done.

My mom doesn’t like cherries.

Well, that’s not completely true. I’ll amend the statement: my mom doesn’t like maraschino cherries. The nearly-fluorescent syrupy sweet things that barely resemble anything that could have ever grown on a tree.

When I was a kid, this was a pretty sweet deal. Ice cream sundaes? I got the cherry. You know, unless my brother got it. But there was a one in two chance I was getting an extra cherry.

Then I got older, and less excited about cherries, and more excited about boozey things that cherries go in.

So, around November of last year, I started experimenting with making cherries my mom would actually like.

Here’s the resulting recipe.

Delicious pickled sour cherries made with sherry

Ingredients

1/2 cup sherry vinegar
1/2 cup sweet sherry
1 stick cinnamon
1 Tb whole peppercorns
2 pods black cardamom
1/2 cup unrefined sugar
1 1/2 cups dried pitted sour cherries

Instructions

Put vinegar, sherry, cinnamon, peppercorns, and cardamom in a small saucepan
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium
Add sugar, stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved
Add cherries. Cook at medium heat for five minutes, then reduce heat to low
Cook over low heat for 30 minutes, until liquid has become thick and syrupy and cherries are partially reconstituted.

Notes

You can replace the sherry with other liquor, like whiskey, brandy, port, or rum.
Cherries will keep in the fridge for a long time. You can also jar them in sealed jars like other pickles.
