Maraschino is a liqueur distilled from cherries, but it can be imitated either with almonds or oranges.

To a quart of cream of the valley add two ounces of blanched bitter almonds bruised to a paste in a mortar; add nearly half a pound of sugar candy; mix and let it stand for a fortnight; strain it. In a month from beginning to make, it will be fit for use.

Maraschino Of Oranges

Take one quart of gin, three Seville oranges, and a large lemon, peel them very thin, and steep the peel in the gin with three-quarters of a pound of sugar candy; let it stand five days; stir it frequently and run it through filtering paper. Then bottle for use.
