Cranberry Liqueur




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




4 cups sugar
2 cups water
2 12 oz. packages fresh or frozen cranberries
zest of 1 orange
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 tsp whole allspice
1 cinnamon stick
6 cups (cheap) vodka


Recipe



In a pot that will hold all ingredients except the vodka, bring sugar & water to a boil, add spices & orange zest. Simmer about 1-2 minutes. Add cranberries

When the cranberries have been popping for about 30 seconds, remove from heat, let cool.

When cool pour into jug (I use a gallon jar). Add vodka. Cover jar or jug (with plastic wrap if you have no lid). Let sit in cool dark place for no less than 3 weeks. Strain first thru a colander then thru cheesecloth, then bottle it.

You can use the cranberries that are left in some Christmas baking. Might even be good on ice cream. I always double the recipe so I have enough to give for gifts & some for us. It's very good on the rocks or on the rocks with some club soda. When the fresh cranberries come out in the beginning of November is when I make it, and bottle it about a week before Christmas. What I keep for us, I reuse the empty vodka bottles.
