Cherry Bounce

Ingredients

• 6 pounds of ripe morellas
• 6 pounds of large black heart cherries
• 3 pounds of loaf-sugar or of sugar candy broken up
• 2 gallons of the best double rectified whiskey

Instructions

Mix together the morellas and black heart cherries. Put them into a wooden bowl or tub, and with a pestle or mallet mash them so as to crack all the stones. Mix with the cherries the loaf-sugar or sugar candy, and put them into a demijohn, or into a large stone jar. Pour on the whiskey. Stop the vessel closely, and let it stand three months, shaking it every day during the first month. At the end of the three months you may strain the liquor and bottle it off. It improves by age.
