Steps:
- In a quart jar, add fruit, 1 cup sugar, and vodka. (I use frozen berries as the freezing process breaks down the cell walls, allowing you to get more juice).
- Seal jar tightly, and place in a dry, dark place for about 2 weeks.
- After two weeks, strain the liquid using a double layer of cheese cloth. Gently squeeze the fruit, getting as much juice as possible.
- In a fresh quart jar, add the second cup of sugar, glycerin, water to top and the strained liquid. Seal and store again in a dark place until sugar is dissolved.
- Once the sugar has all dissolved, bottle the resulting liqueur in a fresh bottle and let age for roughly 3 months.

HOMEMADE FRUIT LIQUERS
This should be a nice easy project for those willing to wait and enjoy things made by hand. Fruit liqueurs can be used anywhere from beverages to dessert and hopefully it won't become addictive from shear flavor alone. Apricots, blackberries, black currants, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, nectarines, peaches, plums and/or raspberries should be used to give the best liqueur.

Steps:
- Rinse the fruit or berries, Fruit must be cut into small pieces.
- Place berries or fruit in a container, add vodka.
- Cap and store in a cool, dark place, stir once a week for 2 - 4 weeks.
- Strain through metal colander. Transfer the unsweetened liqueur to an aging container (glass bottle or container with tight cap). To 3 cups (710) ml unsweetened liqueur add 1 1/4 cup (300 ml) granulated sugar. Let age for at least three months.
- Pour carefully the clear liqueur to a new bottle. Add more sugar if necessary.
- The flavor of almost all liqueurs improves during storage. Fruit and berry liqueurs should be stored for at least 6 months for maximum taste. Some lemon liqueurs (e.g. Limoncello) should not be stored for a long time.

BASIC FRUIT LIQUEUR
I have not tried this liqueur. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this recipe in Complete Book Of Small Batch Preserving. As well as being economical, the liqueurs are typically lighter and less sweet than the commercial ones. All of these liqueurs may be stored in the refrigerator for several months to enjoy at your leisure. Try a variety of fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, sour cherries, nectarines, peaches and plums. A splash of a fruit liqueur does wonders for fresh fruit to add elegance to a simple dessert. Added to soda water, it makes a refreshing summer spritzer. And of course pour some over ice cream or frozen yogurt. Either vodka or 40% alcohol may be used for these liqueurs.
