Step 1

Combine sugar, cherry juice, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer. Stir occasionally as the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Add the Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur and whisk to combine. Add the pitted cherries. Stir to coat all of the cherries in the syrup. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to soften the cherries slightly.

Step 3

Turn off the heat, discard the cinnamon stick, and allow the cherries to cool. Once cooled, store in the fridge in a tightly sealed jar.
