Remove the stems from the cherries, cut in half, and remove the pits. Crush
the cherries lightly. Crush about 10 of the cherry stones by placing them in
a plastic or cloth bag and hitting with a hammer. Place crushed pits and
cherries in a quart jar. Add the sugar, then the vodka. Close the jar
tightly and place in the sun daily for 1 week. Then set the jar in a cool
