The cherries are stoned with a suitable pair of tongs and placed in the glass layered with sugar, syrup and spices. The vanilla beans are mixed with a little sugar. The shell can be put in and dragged along for Christmas. If you want a slightly sweeter cherry sauce, you can go up to 50g of syrup. Alternative to syrup is honey, alternative to Rum is Kirschwasser or Maraschino liqueur. Remember your glass should be filled (almost) to the brim and stored cold and dark until Christmas.

The original cherries "amarena" are from Bologna and Modena in Italy. The name "amarena" means bitter, which is why they get a special treatment before they come in the fine jars and are sold at a high price.

Cherry Sauce for rice pudding
Cherry Sauce for rice pudding

Industrial production of Cocktail cherries in the United States is mainly obtained from the "Great Princess". The cherries are harvested ripe, but not overripe. Cherries de-stoned and then placed in brine. Lagen contains 0.7-1.5% sulfur and 0.4 to 1% calcium carbonate. Its pH is between 2.5 and 3.5. The process takes place at low temperatures and lasts four to six weeks. In this process, the cherries is bleached, so that they lose their color and taste completely. The process is similar to the treatment of other cherry before further processing. Then the cherries are washed thoroughly in one to two days in order to reduce the content of sulfur dioxide, then boiled in dye, in which they lie a few days so that the whole fruit penetrated by the dye. Citric acid is added to prevent the cherries to deliver the dye again. Finally, the cherries are soaked in the Maltose syrup. As dye often used Erythrosine (E127) and Allura Red AC (E129). Erythrosin may only be used in Europe for the production of cocktail cherries preserved in syrup and candied cherries.

The main producer of traditionally made cocktail cherries pickled in alcohol - Maraschino liqueur - is the Italian spirits producer Girolamo Luxardo.
There are certainly many opinions about cherry sauce for rice pudding. Some will have a thick sauce and others want a thin sauce. Should it be very spicy - read perfumed - sweet or sour? I am of the opinion that cherry sauce should taste of the ingredients you put in and a bit of "Christmas". The cheap cardboard boxes are too bad and the good in pots from Italy are too expensive. But it is good that in July/August one can make his own good cherry sauce for rice pudding and let it mature in the fridge for Christmas.

I have saved the beautiful blue jars from Fabbri Amarena that I now use for my own recipe. There is also a red variety from Toschi Amarena. Both companies are from Italy, and there is a big difference in price but a slight difference in taste. The blue 600 g is slightly perfumed in taste, as there is added almond essence. The red 510 g is a little more "watery" in the taste, hence the price difference. Both brands are made of black wild amarena cherry, sugar, glucose syrup, water, cherry juice, citric acid, flavor and grape skin color (anthocyanin) of black cherry. The slight difference in the taste must obviously be in the composition of the ingredients, and perhaps in the production process. The price difference, blue costs 90.00 DKK 600 g = 15.00 DKK per 100 g - red costs 50.00 DKK for 510 g = 9.80 DKK per 100 g, I can not explain.

The pitted cherries placed in clean glass and sprinkled layered with sugar, syrup and spices until the top is reached. Captain Morgan Rum 40% poured in until the berries are covered. Do you want to spend more money, you can use the German Kirschwasser or Maraschino liqueur from Croatia.

Close the glass and placed dark and cold until Christmas Eve. Now you can serve up a good cherry sauce for your rice pudding. Be aware that there is no added preservatives, so store the jar in the refrigerator. Shake the jar gently a few times a month.
