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.
