I didn't realize that they required recipes, though a quick google revealed
some. I have a friend who owns a cherry orchard. He just takes the freshly
picked cherries, sticks them in a jar and covers them with liquor (brandy,
rum, schnapps). I tried them with brandy and thought they needed some
sweetness, so the next time I tired them I dissolved as much sugar as I could
into the brandy and poured than in. The results were excellent.
