Cherries
I have become mildly infamous with the writing group for my holiday candy. I'd been contemplating things involving cherries for a while, and since today is Midsummer, and I tend to do the chocolates around Midwinter, I figured today was the best day to start attempting to home-preserve a whole pantload of cherries for doing things with later on.
chorus_of_chaos suggested putting some booze in as a preservative; I may well do that, and rely on commercial cherries for the non-alcoholic version. I already have a whole jar of boozed-up maraschino cherries, but these won't have that nasty sulfur taste that makes my tongue grow fur.
