Last year we had a bumper crop of cherries. A branch broke with some almost-ripe cherries and a friend suggested I stone the cherries, and put them in honey. Leave on the counter for a couple of weeks, then put them in the fridge.
So I did.
Now what do I do with these excessively sweat, slightly alcoholic cherries and honey juice?
It depends on what you want to use them for. You can let keep letting it ferment outside your fridge, this will make a very nice mead. You can dehydrate the presoaked cherries and use them in cakes and desserts.
The flavored honey can be added to tea, mixed with hot water for a drink, or used as a sweetener for cakes and desserts.
