Cherries?

My cherry tree is loaded with cherries this year. I have given
away many bags of them but hate to see the rest go to waste. Any ideas for
recipes suitable for maintenance?

Cherries are 1.09g of carbs each with 0.1g of fiber.

Depending on your carb level at this point... eat some.

10 would be: 10.9g - 1g fiber or 9.9g.

Whatever recipes you use, they're still going to be the same carb count.

I've seen recipes for cherries soaked in rum. Is rum low-carb (I truly
don't know)? I'm not a drinker, and I still love rum-soaked cherries.

I'll bet you could get some great ideas on Google. Sorry that I no longer
have a recipe for this, but I remember that I got it from a website, not
Usenet.

Rum Pot:

In a covered jar fill it with berries when they come into season, top off
with rum and seal. Then as each fruit comes into season throw more fruit on
top and cover with more rum. Keep this up until fall fruits are done. Then
let sit until Yule (Christmass for you Christians) start eating at main
feast. Some people have been known to top off a rum pot with sugar every
time they add fruit, but I never have. If all you want is cherries, just
don't add any other fruits. Strawberries are beginning to come into season
here.

Gunn

Moonshine?!? Do you make a traditional mash? How many passes through the
still are you doing? I've made a nice brandy using mead and running it
through a still 1 pass.

0h, nonono! I don't make my own! Let's just say I have a friend who
has a friend... I have no idea whether it's a "traditional mash" or
something else? I just know that this particular "label" doesn't burn
my stomach, is smooth going down, and burns blue til the glass is
empty (if you want to waste it by setting it on fire!). g

Every year when cherries are everywhere and affordable, I put up
several pounds in Mason jars, with Captain Morgan's rum. Anywhere from
a couple of weeks to a couple of months later ... DAMN those are good
cherries. They make fine Christmas gifts, too.
