Cocktail Cherries

Directions

1. 1
   Pour the vinegar over the pitted cherries and let them sit overnight.
2. 2
   The next day, drain, reserving the infused vinegar for other purposes (it's great in salad dressing).
3. 3
   Layer the drained, pickled cherries with the sugar in an airtight container and store in a cool, dark place, stirring regularly, until all of the sugar is dissolved, usually 4 to 7 days.
4. 4
   Store in clean glass jars, and check the seals regularly for any sign of mold or mildew. Make sure when you store them that the cherries are completely covered by the shrub.
