Anyone have a recommendation for the replacement of Kirsch in a recipe?
The wife wants to make her Oma's black forest cake for a party this weekend. Looks like I would have to drive to NY to get it, 2.5 hours one way is the closest I've found.

Online searching says that Chambord or Frambois are acceptable substitutes..
Any opinions or suggestions?
 
I've seen a few suggestions for cognac and to me, grand marnier sounds like it might be good. But, she wants to try to stay as close to the original recipe as possible so the orangey flavor may not get the nod this time.
Maybe a straight cognac blended with amaretto would do the trick? Idk.. I've never tasted Kirschwasser before
Grand Marnier?

Pig tails & blackeyed peas over rice that I'm still eating . . . a favorite home recipe that I learned from my mother and a favorite of mine.

Also had a larged steamed black bass w/sauted clams at lunch at a Chinese restaurant in SF today but I forgot to take pics.

Sorry. 🤷‍♂️
