  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      Cups          Cherries
   1      Fifth         Brandy
     1/4  Cup           Sugar Syrup

Cut up the cherries and remove the pits.  Take about one-half of the pits
and wrap them in cheesecloth; smash with a hammer.  Put the cutup
cherries and the crushed seeds into a large jar; add the brandy and close
tightly.  Let steep for about 3 weeks.  Strain off the liquid with a wire
strainer and extract any additional fluid from the cherries by wringing
them wrapped in cloth. Add the sugar syrup; shake and filter through
cheesecloth.
