2. Put alternate layers of cherries and sugar in a large clean jar. Pour in the brandy to cover the cherries completely.

3. Seal the jar tightly and leave it in a cool, dark place for three months, shaking the jar occasionally until the brandy has taken on a deep rich color from the cherries.

4. Strain the flavored spirit through a funnel lined with a double layer of clean muslin into a clean bottle. Seal tightly with a cork or screw top. Drink immediately, or store in a cool, dark place.
