Muzz, are they cooked or just marinating???

I like the idea although I am sure I could hear Maggie say, “Not my good merlot again”. ;D ;D ;D

Also did you take the seeds out of them?

Thanks. I imagine they will get better after sitting a while as well.

I was at the Golden Circle outlet at Morayfield today.
They had 2 kilo jars of Marachino cherries, stalks on for $7.
Mighty cheap, but what do you do with that many?

Don’t Marachino Cherries last a long time in the liquid though??

Aart, what sort of things do they have at the outlet??

Popper drinks, Bundaberg drinks, spices, pasta, pasta sauces, canned and bottled veg and fruits, milk, eggs some frozen goods and much more.
Well worth the trip when you are down this way again.
eg 800 gram pie apples.. $3.50
Same size pears $3
Some stuff is getting close to use by.

Was reading that recipe again Muzz and wondering if we will ever get alcohol in our Qld Aldi Stores.

We've finished all of the fresh cherries off our trees.

Although Mrs Rabz preserved s few bottles - one lot in port and another in rum and spice syrup.

Getting ready for a mid-winter crumble or two...
