Your prize is a glass of Martha Washington's Cherry Bounce. Martha Washington’s own recipe for Cherry Bounce.

TRADITIONAL CHERRY BOUNCE

2 quarts of unpitted sweet, sour or wild cherries

1 quart of bourbon whiskey

3 cups of sugar

Combine the cherries, sugar in a glass container and cover tightly, letting it rest in a warm cupboard for at least two months or until a thick brown syrup develops. After this, pour the bourbon in and mix, then return it to rest for another month, after which drain the solids from the liquid and imbibe the latter or seal it and return to sit until ready for serving.
