What exactly can I do with a bottle of maraschino cherries?

Well, I once inadvertently (and permanently) dyed a beige area rug with a jar of maraschino cherries, but I’m pretty sure that’s not what you meant.

Otherwise I got nuffin. Sorry.

Indeed, it does look like a bottle of red dye! I’ll be careful where (if) I open it! Thank you, @canidmajor

Put them in a Shirley Temple/Roy Rogers.

Practice tying the stem with your tongue. Your girlfriend will like the results!

Ice cream sundaes!

Serve them to a visiting vegan.

Get bottle of Bourbon and put cherries in a large jar and pour the Bourbon in jar. Serve at Christmas time, needs a month.

Cover with chocolate from a chocolate fountain…

Make Manhattans.

When you feel like having something a little sweet pop a couple in your mouth. I use them as a cheat dessert once in a while. They will keep a long time in your fridge. Add them to a drink when you have people over, a slice of pineable and a cherry looks nice on a tropical drink, or use them on a shirley temple if you have young relatives visit. Or, put on top of a sundae.

Chop it up and put it in stuffing… my moms has been doing it for years.

Personally, I would just toss them out. I can’t think of anything that tastes LESS LIKE a real cherry than these dayglo concoctions.

To me, they just taste like over-sugared chemicals. Yuck.

However, if you’re a drinker, they do perk up the look of lots of different drinks and the alcohol would serve to disguise some of the chemical laden taste. Have fun.

To each his own :)

Make a fruit salad with them!

Drain the liquid and add 25% of the total liquid volume with rum or vodka to the liquid. Set aside. Fill the bottle of cherries with straight rum or vodka, set aside for a month or two. Drink the liquid. When you feel like getting bombed again, eat the cherries and wash them down with the booze that you filled the bottle with. Salute!

I used to buy jars for two main purposes: one, to put the cherries on vanilla ice cream, and two, to add the juice to Coca Cola or Dr. Pepper.

Or to orange juice.

Keep it handy for occasions when you will beg. “Pretty please…”
