Mix together six pounds of ripe morellas and six pounds of large
black heart cherries. Put them into a wooden bowl or tub, and with
a pestle or mallet mash them so as to crack all the stones. Mix
with the cherries three pounds of loaf-sugar, or of sugar candy
broken up, and put them into a demijohn, or into a large stone
jar. Pour on two gallons of the best double rectified whiskey.
Stop the vessel closely, and let it stand three months, shaking it
every day during the first month. At the end of the three months
you may strain the liquor and bottle it off. It improves by age.
