A day to prepare?

You know I love trying your recipes, but who plans a whole day in advance?

Lots of people? Really? Oh.

I heartily approve of fruit and cognac.

Cherry-flavored sidecar with remaining booze?

"Xmas pudding"? Is that what you kids call it these days?

Our usual sources have no sour cherries this year, as a late freeze killed off their blossoms. But the sweet ones are in (they were past the danger point at the frost), so we might give this a try. Well, either that or just drink the cognac and cry.

If you are new to drinking pies, one tip I would share is make sure the ice in the ice water is thoroughly pulverized. No noticeable chunks, more of the texture of a snow cone (or actual snow.) I chop up ice cubes in the blender, adding water as needed, then strain out most of the water.

Actually, you lost me at "I was in the mood for some strange".

I'm not much of a baker.

I was just going to say the same thing . . . that's got to be a first-class ice cream topping.
