Lamponi are raspberries, and this is a great way to preserve the memories of a woodland meadow in August for the winter months. Alcohol content about 40%.

• 1 1/4 pounds raspberries
• 15 cherry leaves
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• The zest of a half a lemon, cut into small strips
• 1 quart alcohol

Macerate all the ingredients in a clear gas jar, setting the jar where it will be warmed by the sun, shaking it a couple of times per day. After a month, transfer the jar to a cool dark place and let it rest for 5 more months. Then strain, filter and bottle your liqueur.

You can also make this with currants, though you should omit the cherry leaves, or blackberries.
