I have cherries from last summer that are just fine. Never had any problem with the color leeching... that's odd. George, I keep them at room temp and they last at least a year.

Also, fwiw, I found out the hard way that if you soak them too long - in my case 6 days - the color leaches out of the cherries. The next batch I soaked in room temperature liqueur for two days and they were incredible Does anyone know how long these will keep in the fridge after you make them?

The artificiality of the bottled variety always turned me off, but I think I could go for these. I never thought they’d be so easy to make.

I only know this because my husband and I recently went through the exercise of pitting 20 lbs. of cherries for jam and didn't figure out until Round 2 that you can pit them without removing the stems, and that the little slot in the “bowl” of the pitter is for threading the stem through. I actually made a short video and posted it (and got all verbose about it on my blog): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=753605049867286790 Too late for this year, but I see from your picture that you’re using the cherry pitter incorrectly (as most folks do).

I put some beautiful Bings up last week, and I'm going to do some beautiful yellow and red Rainiers this weekend. I'm using Maraska maraschino liqueur, but I don't know how it compares to the Luxardo everyone seems to be using. Wow, I’m trendy without even knowing about it.
