Cranberry Liqueur



INGREDIENTS:

1 lb Fresh Cranberries

1 1/8 c Vodka

1 1/8 c sugar syrup (see recipe)

1/2 Orange wedge, scraped peel

DIRECTIONS:

1. Look for bright, plump cranberries, avoiding soft,
crushed, or shriveled ones. Season is Sept. to Dec.
They will keep in the refrigerator for 4-8 weeks (can
also be frozen), but do not wash them until ready for
use as moisture will make them spoil. Rinse
cranberries and chop in blender. Combine all
ingredients in jar and steep for 4-5 weeks. Strain
and filter. Ready to serve. Note: Cranberries can
tend to have a bitter taste; more sugar syrup can be
added during the first steep or if after, let sit an
additional week.
