 Method
Wash cherries very well, dry on the sun for 2 days. Put cherries in a big bottle almost up to the top and fill up with vodka. Let stew for 1-2 months in the room, then filter in small bottles, cork them up. Keep the bottles in the cellar. Sugar on your taste is added before serving.

     Good Recipe, but needs to be more detailed
     Recipe sound really good and simple. However, it would be good to be more exact about how much sugar to use. Also, it should be mentioned that cherries in US and Russia are different. American cherries are bigger, sweeter and don't have the same tart flavor as Russian cherries. If I am going to use American cherries I would squeeze more of them in the bottle to compensate the lack of flavor.
