My DD said she recently had some homemade sour cherry brandy.

Said it was absolutely wonderful. They used 2 pounds sugar; 2 pounds sour cherries; a fifth of barcardi rum. Then fernmented it for about 6 weeks (she wasn't sure how long). Has anyone tried something like this?

No but my brother brought over some pear wine he made. Sounded sweet and

icky. It was light, dry and crisp. Absolutely fantastic.

I asked for more smileys/smile.gif

I think it's called Cherry Bounce, in the Midwest. (Please don't ask how I know this.) smileys/wink.gif

Wouldn't that be Cherry Rum?

There's a hiphop song about it: "More bounce to the ounce..." heh heh
