HEALTHY HOMEMADE MARASCHINO CHERRIES

Steps:

• Wash the cherries and remove their stems. Pit the cherries (I don't own a cherry pitter so I used a boba straw... hence why my cherries look like olives lol) and place them in a container big enough to hold 64oz (preferably a container where the cherries will be fully submerged once you add the rest of the ingredients).
• Pour in the water, vodka, stevia extract, cherry flavor, and almond extract. Gently give it a stir. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for 2 weeks.
• After the 2 weeks, you can portion the mixture into jars, making sure to keep the cherries fully submerged in the cherry liquid.
