This should take about one hour. Finish the caramelization by heating the on medium heat on a stove. Keep stirring with a wooden spatula. Add 1 tbsp cherry wine and 1 tbsp vinegar. pan on a stove and heat Keep stirring and scrapping off fully caramelized pieces fro the bottom of the pan till the liquid has mostly evaporated. Add 3 cups of each of clear chicken broth and clear beef both. Bring to boil on high heat. Simmer on high heat. For 1 hour Take 4 half-slices of French bread and sear both on a hot skillet with 1 tbsp melted butter till dark brown. Divide into serving 4 cups. Place a bread slice in each. Top up each floating slice with 2 tbsp of mix of grated American cheeses (e.g., extra sharp cheddar and Moterary Jack). Top with pepper.
