Papa loved brandy soaked cherries. I found this in his basement food cellar. 6/13/1958
In person you can clearly see the fruit is solid and the liquid covers the top of the fruit. It was stored in the dark for… a while.
What do you think these are like now?!

Prolly amazing 👏 the longer they soak the better. Same with moonshine soaked cherries they will crystallize with the sugars and get crunchy.
But all in all they should be plenty shelf stable lol
honestly even food safety concerns aside, it’s much cooler to leave it sealed. You open it up you just have an empty old jar. leave it sealed and you have history
Eat one or a couple to test. If yucky toss, if tasty ride it out. Worse case you shit your pants or die. Best case you get a nice snack.
I’d be opening either way to get that jar.
Look it up. They just recently found some sealed at George Washington’s estate, Mt. Vernon, while doing renovations. They’ve been there since the late 1700’s and the jars that are still sealed are actually edible and in a great state of preservation.
They’re hoping to be able to propagate some of the seeds, original seeds from George Washington’s own cherry trees.
Give the jar a wipe down on the outside first. Then think about opening it.
