Time P1DT25m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds fresh sour cherries
1 (1.75 ounce) package fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell® Pectin Light for less or no sugar)
3 cups white sugar
⅓ cup amaretto liqueur

Steps:

  • Inspect 5 cup-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Wash and pit the cherries. Chop them finely. You should have about 5 cups. Place cherries in a large saucepan and slowly bring to a boil over low-medium heat. Stir in pectin and slowly bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil on high heat and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with a ladle or a large spoon.
  • Remove from heat and stir in amaretto liqueur.
  • Ladle sour cherry jam into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

AMARETTO SOUR



Amaretto Sour image

Jeffrey Morgenthaler, the bar manager of Pépé Le Moko and Clyde Common in Portland, Ore., enjoyed amaretto sours as a young man. As a bartender, he embarked on a project to make a better version of this often-mocked drink, which was typically composed of just amaretto and sour mix. He boosted the alcoholic strength by mixing in nearly a full ounce of overproof bourbon, replaced the sour mix with real lemon juice and added an egg white - a common ingredient in many sour recipes from the past. Given all the alterations, he might have given the cocktail a new name, but decided against that. "There wouldn't have been any point," he said. "There's a big difference between if I took this drink and made it good, and if I invented a new drink with amaretto. The latter wouldn't have the same gravitas."

Categories     cocktails

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 ounces amaretto
3/4 ounce cask-proof bourbon, such as Booker's
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon rich simple syrup (2 parts sugar to 1 part water; see note)
1/2 ounce egg white, beaten
Lemon twist, for garnish
Brandied cherries, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the amaretto, bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white in a cocktail shaker and shake without ice, about 10 seconds, to integrate. Add ice and shake until chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain over fresh ice in an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with the lemon peel and brandied cherries.

Categories     Beverages

Time 10m

Yield 1 cocktail

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 ounces Amaretto
1 ounce simple syrup (dissolve an equal amount of sugar in water)
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice and garnish with an orange slice and cherry.

Tips:

  • For a classic Amaretto Sour, use equal parts amaretto, lemon juice, and simple syrup. You can adjust the proportions to taste.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, add a little extra to compensate for the lack of fresh flavor.
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water.
  • Amaretto Sour can be served with or without egg white. Egg white adds a frothy texture and a slightly sour flavor. If you choose to use egg white, make sure it is fresh and at room temperature.
  • Garnish your Amaretto Sour with a lemon twist, a cherry, or both.

Conclusion:

The Amaretto Sour is a classic cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. With its sweet and sour flavor, the Amaretto Sour is sure to please everyone.
