These lush Luxardo Maraschino cherries are exclusively grown and harvested in the Luxardo orchards in the hills near Padua, not far from Venice in northern Italy. Luxardo is the oldest independent, family-owned liqueurs company in Italy – but its dark plump cherries contain no alcohol.
A 400g jar contains about 65 cherries. They are handy to keep in the kitchen and need no refrigeration.
Enjoy their authentic natural almondy flavour, and use the cherries - and syrup - for desserts, decoration, baking, cocktails.
Ideas: brownies, bakewell tart, trifle, fruit salad, on ice cream, with panna cotta, rice pudding, cheesecake, buttery crêpes, or to crown a pavlova with whipped cream.
Buy from Lakeland shops & online, Amathus shops & online, Lina Stores, Amazon, and many other online drinks suppliers eg. www.masterofmalt.com
Guide retail price per jar is £9.99.
