Strawberries & Cherries

This is how we top a simple bowl of vanilla ice cream.

Strawberries & Cherries

1 bottle maraschino cherries, grocery store variety
1 cup bourbon
1/2 cup Luxardo Maraschino

strawberries, cleaned and halved

Empty red liquid out of the maraschino cherry jar.  Fill with bourbon.  Refrigerate for at least 1 week.

Then, on the day that you want to eat your ice cream, pour cherries and bourbon over a bowl of cleaned and cut strawberries.  Then, add the 1/2 cup Luxardo Maraschino.  Stir gently.  Let macerate for at least 20 minutes.  Spoon strawberries and cherries over small bowls of ice cream.  Drizzle a small amount of liquid on top.

Top with whipped cream, if desired.
