                               Royal Gold Liqueur

From "Cordials from Your Kitchen," by Patti Vargas & Rich Gulling. 

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 1/2 pounds fresh golden cherries with pits, stemmed and washed.
2 cups sweet white wine
1 1/2 cups brandy
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
 
Make a simple syrup by bringing sugar and water to a boil over medium-high 
heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.  When clear, remove from heat 
and let stand until just warm. Cut cherries in half but don't remove pits.  
Put cherries and pits in clean 2-quart container with tight fitting lid.  Pour 
syrup over cherries and add vodka, brandy, lemon zest, and fruit protector. 
Cover and let stand in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks, shaking occasionally to 
prevent clumping of fruit.
 
Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain out solids.  Discard.  Transfer liqueur to 
clean container, cover, and let stand for 1 week.  Rack or filter liqueur into 
final container such as wine bottle, fruit jar, or decanter.  Yield: 
Approximately 1 1/2 quarts.
