Morello Cherries in Brandy, Cerises Griottes Douces à la Liqueur - 18.5 oz (525 g) glass jar, by Distillerie du Périgord, from France.

Established in 1860, Distillerie du Périgord initially gained fame for producing some of the world’s most renowned liquors. In the late 1980s, the distillery shifted its focus to fruit-infused liquors, and today it is celebrated for its exceptional fruit brandies.

Distillerie du Périgord’s Morello Cherries in Brandy feature fresh, handpicked Morello cherries preserved in a luscious, fruity syrup blended with kirsch brandy. They offer a rich and complex flavor profile, combining the tart, slightly sour, and intensely fruity nature of the cherries with the warmth and depth of the brandy. The brandy also adds a smooth, subtly sweet, and oaky character, with hints of vanilla, caramel, and spices, resulting in a perfectly balanced blend of sweetness, acidity, and a touch of bitterness.

To fully enjoy this delectable treat, be sure to try to try the following:

• Savor them on their own: Enjoy them straight from the jar as a decadent treat or dessert. The blend of tart cherries and brandy creates a sophisticated flavor that's perfect for indulging.
• Over ice cream or yogurt: Spoon the cherries and a bit of the brandy syrup over vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, or panna cotta for a luxurious dessert with a warm twist.
• With cheese: Pair them with cheeses like brie, blue, or goat. The tangy and rich flavors of the cherries complement creamy and pungent cheeses beautifully.
• In cocktails: Use them as a garnish for cocktails like Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, or other whiskey and brandy-based drinks. The cherries add a tart, fruity kick that elevates the drink.
• In baked goods: Add them to cakes, tarts, or pastries for a burst of sweet and sour flavor. They work well in Black Forest cakes, clafoutis, or chocolate desserts.
• With chocolate: Pair them with dark chocolate or drizzle some brandy syrup over chocolate mousse topped with the cherries for a luxurious, flavor-packed experience.
• Over pancakes or waffles: Use them as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or French toast for an indulgent breakfast or brunch option.
