How to Make Cherry Extract
When you soak cherries in alcohol, the alcohol draws out the cherry flavor and aroma. This strong liquid is cherry extract, a common part of many dessert and drink recipes. Although you can buy cherry extract at the supermarket, making it from scratch is an easy kitchen project. Cherry extract will keep for months at a time, allowing you access to real cherry flavor even during the winter months.
