Steps
Place the cherries in a 1 quart glass container , being careful not to crush the fruit.
Add the sugar and the lemon peel.
Fill the container with the bourbon.
Seal the lid and gently shake the jar , or move it around the counter to distribute the alcohol and sugar evenly.
The sugar will continue to dissolve over time.
Place the cordial in a cool , dark place for 2 months to allow the liquor to be infused with the flavor.
Jump start the process by placing the container on a sunny windowsill for the 1st two weeks.
The fluctuating temperatures of the daytime sun and the cool evenings will speed the flavor infusion.
