 If you can eat them all, this is a great product.Dec 05, 2008
By Skwerl

These are wonderful Amarena cherries- especially for the price. The downside is that the quantity is for restaurants/patisseries. I've found that you can store these in the freezer- but they won't freeze. The sugar level must be something like 80 Brix, so I don't think they would go bad for a long time, anyway!

WHAT WILL A 6lb. 13oz. Huge Can Of Amarena Cherries Be Like?Nov 01, 2009
By George M. Olivier
As soon as I opened this very large can, I WAS IMPRESSED!! THE INSIDE OF THE CAN COMPLETELY LINED WITH A VERY SPECIAL "BAKED ON" WHITE ENAMEL OR TEFLON FINISH!! The cherries
looked terrific, almost completely filled the can, and I was prepared with 6 New Strilized Canning Jars! In
order to very carefully remove the medium viscosity syrup, I DID THE FOLLOWING: 1. USING A ;LARGE
TEFLON draining spoon, I carefully scooped up over 1/2 cup of cherries, and permitted the syrup to quickly drain into a very clean container! 2. I then placed the drained cherries into one of the new Canning One Pint
Jars. 3.When I reached 1 cup of cherries, ( not "packed" in the Jar, I carefully added sufficient syrup to cover. 4. I the added 2 tsp. (measuring teaspoons of Peter Herring Cherry Liqueur, followed by less than 1/2
tablespoon (measure carefully) of either VS Cognac or Quality US Brandy-(I alternately used either the VS
Cognac, or EJ XO Brandy ($13.50 for 750ml) 5. I continued by carefully filling the jar with 1 additional cup
of drained cherries and then proceded with all of the steps I had done in "STEP 4." After EVERYTHING HAD BEEN ADDED, I sealed the Jar with the 2-part Canning Lids, after which I carefully inverted the Jar several times, (4 or 5). 6. I then placed Jar 1 into a very cold Refrigerator, and left undisturbed for a week! Actually, I would use the inversion technique I described!----REMEMBER, after seven days, open and SMELL! Also taste both syrup and cherries; they will change slightly for at least 3 weeks. At this time, if you feel that a small amount of Brandy is needed, you may add several teaspoons, "OR" instead 1 scant measured Tablespoon, BUT, it is always best to add less than you would like! Now, after sealing the Jar, continue with about 5 careful rotations!
After several weeks, only occasional rotations are needed-perhaps every 4 days. The small amount of added alcohol should make each Jar last a very long time in the refrigerator!
You should have more than enough syrup and cherries to loosely fill all 6 Jars. The cherries are really delicious! The Luxardo Marasca Cherries are actually a somewhat different cherry, but also delicious!
However, its syrup is much, much thicker; therefore, before I added the same 2 "liquors", I first carefully diluted its syrup, very gently stirring until the proper viscosity was achieved! Then I proceeded
to very carefully experiment with liquors. ALWAYS USE A SPECIAL CANNING JAR WITH 2-PIECE LIDS! THE Luxardo Cherries are smaller and delicate, but intensely flavorful!!

Delicious cherries, and still good after three years.Apr 16, 2009
By Patsy
These cherries have good flavor, and are a great value compared to the fancy jars they usually sell them in (if you can find them at all). Just put them in your own glass jars and you can share with friends. And because of the high sugar content of the syrup they will keep well, especially in the fridge.
UPDATE May 2012: I ate the last of the (refrigerated) 2009 cherries about a week ago with no ill effects. They were still delicious. And I just packed the new batch in six 12 oz. jelly jars, with a little syrup left over to drizzle on ice cream in the next few days!

 Not quite what I was hoping...Apr 20, 2011
By ryego
After searching around for affordable imported amarena cherries, these Roland brand cherries came up at Amazon. Because of the great price and the fact that they seemed "authentic", i decided to purchase them -- all seven pounds of them. Unfortunately, the cherries don't have that richness of the Fabbri brand, and the syrup is more "medicine" like than I was hoping (almost too much like that old cherry tylenol taste I recall as a kid). The cherries were chewy but didn't release a lot of juice; and there is no visible expiration date on the large can, though the copyright date is 2004. Basically I feel that they are a glorified darker version of maraschino cherries with a thicker syrup. if you want a real amarena experience, stick with the more expensive Fabbri brand for sure. Or, find out what brand of amarena cherry is used at Carnevino restaurant in Vegas... that's where i first learned about amarene, and they changed they way i think about cocktails!
