Vanilla Spiced Rum Soaked Cherries

Looking for a way to make those sweet, in-season cherries last just a little longer? Then make these boozy Vanilla Spiced Rum Soaked Cherries!

I just love when cherry season rolls around each summer. My only problem with cherry season is that it just doesn't last quite long enough. Who's with me on that one? 

I mean, just a few measly months each year? Come on! Cherry season should definitely last longer. But since I can't somehow magically extend the length of cherry picking season, I will instead find ways to make these sweet, fresh cherries last just a tad longer. 





One way to extend the life of those juicy cherries is by boozing them up. ;) Soak them in a little rum or brandy, & you can make them last at least a month longer. Plus, they are soaked in booze. That's just bonus points in my book.

Chai Pumpkin-Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

These Chai Pumpkin-Pecan Oatmeal Cookies are soft and thick packed full of creamy pumpkin flavor, warm chai spices, hearty oats, and crunchy pecans...

Confession time: I just may get a little obsessed with chai spicing everything once the cooler temps have hit here and the leaves begin to change colors. There is just something about that warm blend of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, & black pepper that says, "Yes, folks. Fall has arrived." 

In fact, I love chai spices so much that I even came up with my own DIY Chai Spice Mix so I can conveniently & quickly add my favorite fall spice combo to everything. 

One of my favorite flavor combinations for the fall season happens to be pumpkin with chai spices. They just pair perfectly together! :) I have made Pumpkin Chai Hot Buttered Rum and Overnight Pumpkin Pie Chai French Toast on the blog already, but I haven't did a pumpkin/chai combo in a cookie before. 

Well, that is about to all change today, my friends. These Chai Pumpkin-Pecan Oatmeal Cookies are soft and thick packed full of creamy pumpkin flavor, warm chai spices, hearty oats, and crunchy pecans...

With peach season in full swing now, I am always trying to concoct new delicious ways of enjoying one of my favorite summertime fruits. As I was looking through my fridge the other day, I spied a bottle of peach moonshine (not the backwoods stuff, folks) we had picked up a few months ago & the wheels started turning. I have always wanted to try my hand at a boozy popsicle, so I thought why not a peach one?

These Peach Shinesicles literally have just 3 simple ingredients in them- fresh pureed peaches, peach juice, and peach flavored moonshine. Many liquor stores now carry moonshines or cordials cut with moonshine, but if you cannot find a peach flavored shine feel free to use a peach liqueur like Schnapps instead. Or if you happen have a bottle of the homemade stuff laying around, you could totally use that too. ;)
