Instructions
Brandied Cherry Syrup Directions
Combine ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low.
Simmer for fifteen minutes.
Use a sieve to strain out the cherries. Reserve both the syrup and cherries.
Cupcake Directions
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
In another medium-sized bowl, beat butter, sugar, and honey until well combined.
Beat eggs and milk into the butter mixture.
Alternately fold the flour mixture and 2/3 cup of the cherry syrup into the wet ingredients.
Fold in all of the brandied cherries.
Scoop ¼ cup of batter into each mason jar.
Carefully, put the jars directly onto the oven rack – no baking sheet is needed. Important: Do not put the lids on.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry.
Remove from oven and pour 1 tablespoon of cherry syrup into each jar. The cupcake will absorb the syrup.
Frosting Directions
Directions
Mix butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in vanilla bean paste and milk until fully combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
Seal the jars.
If desired, freeze until ready to gift.
