cherry ripe

Cherries are on sale at the supermarket, so I bought a nice bagful today and have made brandied cherries (using this recipe but with the spices from this recipe). The rest of the cherries are soaking overnight in vinegar, to be turned into pickled cherries tomorrow. I did eat a few of them fresh, as well, but mostly I wanted to do things with them.

I feel like a domestic god, although it was all very easy, actually.
