in Shop but don't drop
I'll take a chance and post in here, and hope someone can answer before that Pinky lady sees it :p :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'm having difficulty getting hold of Kirch (Cherry liqueur) I've tried MrS, MrT MrM and no stores have any, I only want a miniature size, I have no intention of paying around £8.00 I need this ingredient towards making a black forest gateau.

Any suggestions peeps? :confused:

    Ooh I doubt you can get hold of that in minature size, to be honest.

    i woudl imagine sherry (which I have seen in minatures) would do just as well, or for non-alcoholic just the equivalent amount of blackcurrant cordial, you know the really strong syrupy stuff?

    We'll keep it just between the two of us then :rolleyes:

    Do you mean kirsch or cherry brandy :confused: They're very different things - one is distilled, the other a liqueur :D

    Well kirsch is a type of brandy made by distilling cherries; cherry brandy is a liqueur fortified by addition of brandy and sugar :D

    Depending on the recipe, you could just leave it out ;)

    I think they sell kirsch at Lidl / Aldi.
    If you've got any left its lovely with some premium vanilla ice cream as a quick treat pudding

    Hi, I find that the House of Fraser stores always used to do a good range on miniatures. I used them when I put a different miniature in some 'fill-your-own' crackers one year
