Bourbon Cherries

I ran across these pictures from last year - I have a backlog of desserts to get up on this blog.

A cherry pitter is a wonderful thing. It makes short work of this great bag of cherries. It also leaves a nice surface area for bourbon to soak in. The soaking mixture was about 2/3 bourbon, 1/3 simple syrup.

Here they are tossed over vanilla and coffee-flavored frozen yogurt. They're quite excellent.
All the photos link to larger ones on Flickr.
