[Cz-L] Vishniak

Mimi,
To make Vishniak, you need sour cherries. Can you get them in the US?
The recipe: Usually equal amounts of sour cherries to equal amount of sugar, placed in a glass jar and covered with muslin.
After about 2 weeks, Vishniak.
You could fortify the Vishniak with a glass of vodka.

Cheers

Arthur
