Ingredients
One 12-ounce bag frozen cherries
1/2 cup sugar
2 strips lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 ounces rum
1 ounce kirschwasser
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions
- Put the cherries, sugar and lemon zest and juice in a large skillet and stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook until the cherries get juicy, about 5 minutes more.
