Cherry Salad.
(Salade de Cerises.)
If using fresh cherries, stone and crack the nuts, and take out the kernels; mix each pound of cherries with one table-spoonful of salad oil, a few drops of tarragon vinegar, a table-spoonful of brandy, and a pinch of sugar, add a teaspoonful of tarragon and chervil picked in tiny pieces, and leave on ice for a little time before using. If using preserved cherries, the uncrystallised are best.
