A fun way to make your own cherry-infused liquor dessert drink. Tart cherries are the real star of this recipe. This is usually made in August and traditionally served with Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Warning: The cherries are very strong after a few months, so eat responsibly. Serve over ice with Sierra Mist or Sprite to cut the liquor strength. Liquor-soaked cherries are also very good over vanilla ice cream for a fun adult dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pitted tart cherries , such as Door County cherries
- 0.33 cups white sugar , or to taste
- 1 cup vodka , or as needed

Pesto Chicken Caprese
This pesto chicken caprese comes out wonderfully moist and flavorful. Tomato slices add a nice acidity to the chicken breasts and melted mozzarella on top is the perfect finish.
Ginataang Alimasag (Crabs in Coconut Milk)
Growing up in the Philippines, my dad would catch a lot of crabs, and ginataang alimasag (crabs in coconut milk) was my favorite recipe he'd make with them. It's a cross between a sauce and a stew, curry-like in texture and rich with sea flavors; think coconut milk, fish sauce, and shrimp paste, cut with the sharpness of ginger and scallions. Enjoy with freshly steamed white rice.
