Cooking/Baking with "Cherry Heering"?

[Bacardi1]

Not one of the liquor stores in our area had Kirsch, which I wanted for a cheese fondue recipe, so I bought a bottle of "Cherry Heering" (which worked perfectly as a Kirsch sub in the fondue, by the way).

So I now have a bottle of "Cherry Heering" & was wondering what, if anything, folks here have used it for in cooking/baking. Not interested in drink recipes - I have plenty of those - just dishes. Already have plans for "Cherries Jubiliee" & a nice "Cherry Clafouti".

Any other ideas?

IS Cherry Heering high enough proof for Cherries Jubilee?

Thanks guys - lots of good ideas!! :)

I love filling donuts with a little cherry or coffee heering, its an easy and great dessert. I simply heat up sugar donuts for about 5 min on 300, then "Inject" the donuts w the liqueur. For an extra nice touch, you can dip the donuts in some sugar and burn w a Creme brûlée torch for a candy topping. It's a winter favorite for sure!

I have used it in salad dressing (the goat cheese, nut, dried fruit kind) and I have used it in chocolate desserts. I have a ton of it myself, so I am hoping others have ideas too :)

i would guess you could substitute it for the kirsch in a black forest cake but I've never tried that. I'm thinking it might flavor a fruit chutney or work like marsala in a zabaglione?

Oh, nice idea on the zabaione. I especially love a cherry vanilla combo!

How about using it with meats that are complimented by some fruitiness? Like ham, duck, pheasant, venison, elk?

Baking - I'd probably use it to flavor buttercream and whipped cream, add it to soaking syrup for cake layers, drizzle it over fresh fruit, etc.
