Homemade Maraschino Cherry Frosting

I love Frosting! Yes that is a confession. I’m guilty of putting too much on what I bake or saving some in the fridge. Gasp! I can’t believe I just said that for the world to see. Haha! The flavor I love best is Maraschino Cherry. I think it’s because when I was little my Mom would make us an extra special treat every holiday. She would put Maraschino Cherries and some of the juice in 7 up and call it a Shirley Temple. We all loved it. We even got to use the fanciest wine glasses ever! I felt so special. We all did.

 

Homemade Maraschino Cherry Frosting

2 sticks unsalted butter (Room temp works best)

4-5 cups Powder sugar ( I sift mine)

5 tbsp Maraschino cherry juice

In large mixing bowl, beat butter on high speed until stiff and fluffy.

Add 3 cups of sugar, one at a time.

Scrape the sides to get all the sugar mixed in.

Add the cherry juice

In addition to the cherry juice add the last cup of sugar.

Beat until smooth

Enjoy!

Now when I can find ways to merge Maraschino Cherries in my cooking I do. You cannot go wrong with the flavor. Especially in Frosting! So Yummy! I use it on Sugar Cookies, Cakes, Cupcakes and even Cherry Rolls. You can head over to Another Cent Saved to get the Cherry Roll Recipe .I’ve even used frosting on the top of Pancakes since I am not a big syrup fan. For me it makes anything extra special.

Did you know you can make your own Maraschino Cherries? You can by using Maraschino Liqueur. There is a great recipe from Ted Allen Here! That is next on my list to do. Homemade is always better!

To make them you will need: Maraschino liqueur  is:  A bittersweet, cherry-flavored Italian liqueur made from wildmarasca cherries (and their crushed pits) grownin the area of Trieste.I thought I would add the proper way of Pronouncing Maraschino: [mar-uh-SKEE-noh; mar-uh-SHEE-noh] I know when I was little that was really hard for me haha :)What are your favorite Maraschino Cherry Recipes?? Leave me a comment below 🙂

    I’m such a maraschino cherry lover! I’ve been known to drink the juice from the jar once the cherries were gone. 🙂 I’ve actually been eating fresh cherries all week long. You know, I’ve never made cherry frosting, but I will now after gazing longingly at your frosting.

    I am weird and don’t like cherries, but my kids love them! Well, okay that’s sort of not true…I like cherries like off of a tree lol…just not cherry flavored stuff. But I love how easy this looks. I’m sure my kids would love something frosted with that!

    I’m a big fan of cherries, what with living near the cherry capital of the country. If you add meringue powder and a little less butter, you can also pipe these into shapes to get a hard frosting candy decoration.
