CREME DE CASSIS (CURRANT LIQUEUR)
This is the lovely 'sirop' that goes into a kir (with white wine), a kir royale (with champagne) or a communard (with red wine). It is also wonderful as an apertif or to pour over ice cream or use as a syrup with various desserts. It takes 4 to 6 months(not included in preparation time), but little effort, and the result far exceeds what you can buy at the liquor store. The serving size is a guess.

HOMEMADE CASSIS (MARTHA STEWART)
Black currant liqueur, also known as "crème de cassis" is a rich ruby elixir with an intense sweet-tart flavor. Serve slightly chilled in little cordial glasses or shot glasses, any time of the day or night. -Or- make a kir, kir royale, or communard. Lovely drizzled over fresh berries and vanilla bean ice cream. And, would be very pretty decanted into pretty bottles to give as gifts during the holiday season. A must try if you have access to fresh black currants, but would also be good made with fresh red currants. From Martha Stewart "Living" July, 2003. Note: This is a two week process, and the yield is my guess.

Steps:
- Combine the currants and red wine in a ceramic or glass bowl, and leave for at least 24 and up to 48 hours.
- Purée the mixture in a food processor or blender, and then strain it through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a large saucepan.
- For every cup of liquid, add 1 cup of sugar.
- Heat gently, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Do not let the liquid come to a simmer, as you don't want to boil off the alcohol. Then leave at the lowest heat for an hour or more, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced a little and become slightly syrupy.
- Allow to cool.
- Mix together 1 part vodka or brandy with 3 parts of the cooled blackcurrant-wine syrup, and funnel into clean, dry bottles. Store in a cool place for at least 2 weeks before drinking.
- Use whenever a recipe/cocktail calls for creme de cassis.
