Recipe - Cherry Rum For Christmas

See instructions

A very ole recipe

Apeck of black wild cherries, soaked in cold water for 24 hours. Put them
in a demifobn ( think its a bowl or cup..) add two pounds of brown sugar
and two quarts of black berries and a gallon of the best New England Rum
you can find, the older the better.

Sailors were given this at Christmas in 1864, the soldiers in the fields
were not this lucky.
