CHERRY LIQUEUR
My mother makes this all the time, she used to test my boyfriends' mettle by offering them some of the liqueur in a small shot glass, with a cherry on the bottom. If they survived the potency of the drink (she would really age it) then she would evilly say, "Bite into the cherry." If they survived that then they were good enough for her daughter.

Steps:
- Mix vodka, brandy and sugar in a large glass measure or medium mixing bowl; stir well to dissolve.
- Cut each washed cherry slightly to open, leave in pits.
- Place cherries in two sterile, quart wide mouth jars or one larger aging container.
- Pour liquid mixture over cherries; stir and cap with tight lids.
- For the first two weeks, shake jars several times.
- Let age in a cool, dark place for at least 3 months for best flavor.
- Strain off liqueur through a wire mesh strainer and discard cherries.
- Rebottle as desired.
- Liqueur is ready in 3 months.
- VARIATIONS:Almond-Cherry Liqueur: For a more prominent"almond" flavor, pit all or part of the cherries.
- Place cherry pits in a clean cloth and hit with a hammer to break them up slightly.
- Put broken pits and pitted cherries in jars or large container and continue as directed.
- Sugarless Cherry Liqueur: Substitute 1 cup apple juice concentrate, undiluted, for the sugar in the Cherry Liqueur recipe.
- Proceed as directed.
- The"sugars" present will be natural fruit sugars rather than the granulated processed sugars.
- Taste is excellent; aging is the same.

CHERRY VODKA
Steps:
- Pit and halve the cherries. As in all vodka recipes, it is important that the flesh of the fruit be somehow exposed.
- Fill a jar with the cherries, but do not pack it. Pour the vodka on top and seal tightly. Leave in a dark place, preferably for at least 2 weeks-or up to 6 months. At the end of that time, open the jar and strain. If you have a very fine-mesh strainer, that will do. If not, use an ordinary strainer lined with a cheesecloth or even a coffee filter. Set the strainer over a large bowl, ideally one from which you'll be able to easily pour afterward. Pour the vodka mixture through the strainer and allow the fruit to sit, seeping liquid, for a good hour or so, stirring a bit and pressing if need be to make the liquid go through.
- Now taste the vodka. Add sugar if you want an after-dinner liqueur, or leave it out if you want something sharper. Pour (or ladle) into a decorative bottle.

Steps:
- Wash the cherries well, discarding any bruised fruit, and remove any stalks or leaves. Put the whole cherries (with the stones) into the 1-litre jar, along with the gin and sugar. Seal the lid, and shake until most of the sugar dissolves. Reserve the gin bottle if you're planning to decant the liquor back into it later.
- Keep in a cool dark place, and give the jar a shake every day, if you can, or every couple of days. The cherry gin will be ready after three weeks, but can be kept for up to three months with the cherries in for a stronger flavour. Don't keep the cherries in the gin for any longer than three months or the flavour will start to deteriorate. The cherries will lighten in colour as the gin darkens and takes on the flavour.
- Decant a little into a glass, and taste. When you're happy with the flavour, strain through a fine mesh cloth or muslin, back into the original, or another, clean bottle, and discard the fruit. The flavour will keep developing over time, store in a cool dark place. Drink on its own, mix with tonic, or top up with sparkling water and serve with a slice of lemon for a refreshing alternative to a G&T.

MORELLO (SOUR) CHERRY LIQUEUR
I suppose you could make this with other types of cherries -- but it won't have the same flavour. Morello's are not meant for eating out of hand -- they DO make the most superb liqueur. This is the homemade liqueur you'll find in every Greek family's cupboard. This takes 1 1/2 months to macerate properly.
