Brandy Cherries
-INGREDIENTS. -Morella cherries, good French brandy; to every lb. of cherries allow half the quantity of pounded sugar.
Have ready some wide-mouthed glass ttles, perfectly clean and dry. Gather ue cherries (not too ripe), and cut off half their stalks. Put them in the bottles, strewing the sugar between each layer; and when the bottles are nearly full, pour in enough brandy to cover them.
A few blanched bitter almonds or peach kernels is thought to be an improvement.
Put corks or bungs in the bottles, tie them over with bladder, and store in a dry place. The cherries will be fit to eat in 2 or 3 months, and will keep good for years.
SEASONABLE in August and September.
