Boil slowly for 20 minutes, the add the almonds and raisins and boil slowly for another 20 minutes. Remove from flame and remove bag with spices and fruit peel.

Black Dane
Serves 1
1 ounce Kahlúa
1 ounce Jubilæum Aquavit
ice cubes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boiled Egg Coffee
1 egg
1 cup cold water -- divided
1 cup regular grind coffee
6 cups boiling water
Use a graniteware coffee pot. Wash egg; break it; reserve shell and beat slightly. Add ½ cup cold water and the 1 cup coffee. Add crushed egg shell. Mix thoroughly. Turn into coffee pot; pour on boiling water, and stir. The spout of the pot shoul be stuffed with soft paper to prevent escape of the fragrant aroma. Place on front of range and boil 3 minutes. If not boiled, coffee is cloudy. If boiled too long, too much tannic acid is developed. Add remaining ½ cup cold water; which perfects clearing. Cold water, which is heavier than hot, sinks to the bottom and carries the grounds with it. Serve at once.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brandied Coffee - Cognackaffe
6 eggs
½ cup sugar
3 cups coffee -- cooled
1 cup brandy
Beat the eggs until lemon-colored and fluffy. Add the sugar gradually and continue to beat until the mixture is thick and pale in color. Stir the cooled coffee in slowly. Add brandy, mixing well.
Chill and serve cold.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry Liqueur - Kirsebælikør
1½ pounds red cherries, with pits, no stems
1½ cups sugar
2½ cups vodka
1 cup brandy
Mix vodka, brandy and sugar in a large glass measure or medium mixing bowl. Stir well to dissolve. Cut each washed cherry slightly to open, leave in pits. Place cherries in 2 sterile, quart wide-mouth jars or 1 larger aging container. Pour liquid mixture over cherries, stir and cap with tight lids. For the first two weeks, stir mixture several times. Let age in a cool, dark place. Age 3 months, minimum, for best flavor. Strain off liqueuer through wire mesh strainer, discard cherries. Strain again if needed for clarity. Re-bottle as desired.
NOTES : This recipe is exceptionally close to the classic ruby-red Cherry Heering Liqueur from Denmark. Use dark Bing, or other sweet red cherries for best flavor and color. You may vary the "almondish" taste by how you handle the cherry pits (pit the cherries, place some or all of them in a clean cloth and hit with a hammer to break them up slightly, and put the bits in the jars with the flesh).
SUGARLESS CHERRY LIQUEUR - substitute 1 cup apple juice concentrate for the sugar.
