Directions
_Contributed by Miss M. M. Halsey, Philadelphia._
Eight lbs. of Morello cherries, 8 lbs. of black cherries, stew them, bruise through a funnel into a demijohn with a stick that the liquid may get to the stones. Pour 1 gallon of rectified whiskey over the cherries. Let stand several months, or as long as you choose. Then pour off the liquid, shake the cherries out of the demijohn, cover them with water. Bruise them well and if you can, crush some of the stones. Let them stand 1 hour, strain liquor, add 5 lbs. of sugar and mix all the liquor together. After standing until settled it is ready for use. A few wild cherries improves it.
GENERAL HARRY HETH’S APPLE TODDY.
_Contributed by Mrs. M. H. Mortimer, Philadelphia._
This apple toddy I first drank in Washington at my brother’s, General Harry Heth’s. It was made in honor of President Cleveland’s first election. Then it was bottled and sealed and not again opened until President Cleveland was for the second time elected to the Presidential chair.
For 1 gallon, bake well and crisp 8 well flavored apples of medium size. When cool, place in a bowl. Mix 1 qt. of brandy, 1 pt. of arrack, 1 pt. of Maraschino; pour the mixture over the apples and add 2 qts. of water. Sweeten to taste, grating a little nutmeg. Stir well, but try not to break the apples.
