Recipes made with Maraschino Cherries

Maraschino cherries are a type of cherry that has been preserved and sweetened in a flavored syrup. These cherries are typically made from sour marasca cherries, which are harvested and then soaked in a solution of sugar, water, and almond flavoring. Maraschino cherries are commonly used as a garnish in cocktails, such as the classic Shirley Temple or a Manhattan. They can also be used in desserts, like ice cream sundaes, cakes, and pies, to add a pop of color and a sweet cherry flavor.
