My newest infusion

Last night, I pitted over 1 pound of fresh bing cherries, enough to fill a massive mason jar half full of vodka all the way to the top. There is something so refreshing and satisfying about seeing that clear liquor turning red with the cherry juice (fittingly, I did this just before watching True Blood, using my "cherry guillotine" that lets me core 4 cherries at once). I have no idea how long the cherry vodka will need to infuse before it is ready, but I have very high hopes for this one. Even if I do either have to throw another party or find someone else's party to take it to just so that it all gets consumed.

I also have 2 more batches of the peach-cinnamon bourbon brewing, but those are already spoken for, headed for someone else's party and as a gift. If you want me to brew you up an infsuion for my Christmas gift to you, let me know and I will get one started before the fruits go out of season. It really is so easy and delicious, I am surprised I didn't think of this sooner.

Pictures to come soon.
