Steps:
- Place 1 lb. frozen pitted sweet cherries in a large heatproof bowl. Bring 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, 2 tsp. vanilla extract, 1 tsp. almond extract, and 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, whisking occasionally to help dissolve sugar, about 4 minutes. Immediately pour syrup over cherries and let cool (keep uncovered).
- Place a small plate on top of cherries to keep them submerged, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill at least 12 hours before serving. Do Ahead: Cherries can be made 4 weeks ahead. Remove plate and keep covered (or transfer to an airtight container) and chilled.
MAKE YOUR OWN MARASCHINO CHERRIES
Make your own Maraschino cherries! Adapted from Meal Master. I have not tried this yet, so putting it here for safekeeping! The sweet sundae-topper has its origins in Yugoslavia and northern Italy. For centuries, merchants had used marascas - small, bitter, black wild cherries - to make a sweet liqueur. Part of the flavor came from crushed cherry stones, which have an almond-like flavor. Marascara cherries preserved in the cherry liqueur were imported into the United States in the 1890s. These maraschino cherries were an expensive luxury served at the finest hotels. With typical ingenuity, American cherry processors figured out a way to make a less expensive version. They used Royal Anne cherries, less liqueur, and almond oil instead of crushed cherry pits. In the 1920s, alcohol was eliminated altogether when horticulturalist Ernest Wiegand found a way to preserve cherries using brine instead of alcohol. The American version of the maraschino became so popular that it completely replaced the foreign import. Cherries are grown in several regions of this country, but seventy percent of the cherries produced in the United States come from four states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah). Maraschini cherries are also produced in New England and the Mid Atlantic.

MARASCHINO CHERRIES
The liquid and cherries glow Kool-Aid red, but they are seductively crisp-textured and steeped with an exotic, piney, floral flavor that is just sweet enough but balanced by a tart tang. Sublime in a manhattan, they are even better over coconut sorbet, and just imagine them on top of an ice cream sundae.
