SO cool

i just broke in my canning set today.
i now have six, lovely, sealed jars of brandied cherries (that took me all afternoon to pit grrrr)!!!
now i'm thinking up things to do with them....cheesecake, ice cream, manhattans, brownies.....the cherry infused brandy is supposed to be really awesome as well.

dilly beans are next on the list. i have the ingredients...i just need to find the time.
then ketchup and maybe some raspberry jam.
