Preparation

Step 1

Make Bourbon Cherries:
Pour bourbon on dried cherries and let sit at least 4 hours at room temperature.

Make Crumble Topping:
Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add butter and use your fingers to massage into flour mixture until consistency resembles a coarse meal. Chill 30 minutes before baking.

Assemble and Bake Crumble:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together fresh cherries, bourbon-soaked dried cherries, sugar, orange juice and salt. Pour mixture into a 9-inch square baking pan or deep pie dish. Top with crumble topping. Bake until crumble is golden brown and cherry filling is bubbling, 30-40 minutes.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
