"This Liqueur recipe is from a very old family cookbook. I have only got around to making it last year. This will take 1 month before it is ready to drink. Note: Other stone fruits, one type only or a mixture, can also be made into liqueurs. I used plum stones, and it was really nicer than I expected. Not overpowering in fruit flavour, very subtle but really pleasant to drink. I am really wanting to use the cherry pits next time, but will have to wait for summer! Note: This recipe will yield approx. 3-4 cups."
