The message
from "Bob Hobden" contains these words:

And don't forget Mirabelles, cherry sized little plums.

How could I forget mirabelle? They make delightful plum brandy. We had
friends in France who had a licence to distill it, and rocket fuel
wasn't the word!

Quetsch was another variety, and that made a stronger-flavoured brandy.
