Citrus Brandied Cocktail Cherries

I found this somewhere on the net, not sure where. The recipe sounds totally awesome so I'm posting here for safe keeping to try soon.

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Serves: 20
• Yields: 1 quart

Ingredients

• 1  medium orange
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1  teaspoon allspice berry
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
• 3⁄4 cup brandy
• 1  lb cherries, washed, stemmed and pitted

Directions

1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove orange peel in wide strips, making sure to avoid the white pith.
2. Place peels, sugar, water, allspice and nutmeg in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temp, about 45 minutes.
3. Place a fine mesh strainer over a container with a spout and strain the syrup. Reserve the orange peels and discard the remaining solids. Add Brandy to the syrup and stir to combine.
4. Place cherries in a 1-quart container with a tight fitting lid, threading the orange peels throughout the cherries. Pour the brandy syrup over the cherries, cover and refridgerate for at least 5 days before serving. Store in fridge for up to 3 weeks.
