CHERRY BRANDY (another way) (Put six pounds of black)

Put six pounds of black cherries, six pounds of Morellas, and two pounds of strawberries in a cask. Bruise them slightly with a stick, then add three pounds of sugar, twelve cloves, half an ounce of powered cinnamon, and two nutmegs grated, with a quarter of the kernels of the cherry-stones, and a handful of mint and balm. Pour over these six quarts of brandy or gin. Let the cask remain open for ten days, then close it, and in two months it will be fit for use. Probable cost, Morella cherries, 10d. to 1s. per pound. Sufficient for one gallon and a half of cherry brandy.
