--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/4  pounds        sour cherries, pitted (about 2 3/4 cups)
   1      cup           sugar
   2      cups          vodka

Put the cherries into a 1-quart Mason jar, and cover with the sugar. Seal
the jar and shake it several times, until the cherries are well coated with
sugar. Add the vodka, reseal and shake the jar a few more times to mix. Set
aside in a cool, dark place for 4 weeks. Strain the mixture through a fine
sieve into a 4-cup glass measuring cup. If desired, transfer the liqueur to
a decanter. The Sour Cherry Vodka should be ready to drink immediately and
has a shelf life of 2 to 3 months.

YIELD: 2 cups
