Cherry Bounce

Ingredients

• 1 peck of morella cherries
• 1 peck of black hearts
• 3 pounds of loaf-sugar slightly pounded or beaten
• 2 gallons of double-rectified whiskey

Instructions

Take morella cherries, and black hearts. Stone the morellas and crack the stones. Put all the cherries and the cracked stones into a demi-john, with the loaf-sugar. Pour in double-rectified whiskey. Cork the demi-john, and in six months the cherry-bounce will be fit to pour off and bottle for use; but the older it is, the better.
