HOMEMADE CRANBERRY LIQUEUR



Homemade Cranberry Liqueur image

This delicious treat can be enjoyed on its own (as a post-Thanksgiving sipper) or mixed with sparkling wine to create a cranberry cordial (a festive way to kick off the holidays). Either way, it's really easy to make! Will last up to 2 months.

CRANBERRY LIQUEUR



Cranberry Liqueur image

I always associate autumn with cranberries. Here is an elegant liqueur that's really easy to make (and a treat to receive as a Christmas or hostess gift). If giving as a gift, be sure to allow enough time (in days) for the fruit to fully infuse the liquor. Cooking time is actually infusion time. UPDATE: After the liqueur is made, try using it to make Rita L's cocktail A Jolly Christmas Special Cosmo or Red Hot Lovers Cosmo (recipe #109007), or if you give the liqueur as a gift, you might want to give the recipient a copy of Rita's recipe to go with it!)

Time P12DT20m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb cranberries
4 cups superfine sugar, divided
1 cup water
3 cups 80 proof vodka

Steps:

  • Combine cranberries with 2 cups sugar.
  • Add water and boil 4-5 minutes until skins start to pop.
  • Remove from heat and cool.
  • Put in a mixing jar, add vodka and shake vigorously.
  • Cover and leave to infuse at least 7 days, shaking or stirring occasionally.
  • Pour thru a coarse strainer and discard berries.
  • Let rest 3-4 days.
  • Without shaking the jar, decant only the clear liquor into another jar, leaving white residue in the original jar.
  • The white residue can be put thru a paper strainer (I use an unbleached coffee filter) until liquid is clear; add the strained liquor to the already decanted liqueur.
  • Combine liqueur with 2 more cups of sugar and shake vigorously until sugar is absorbed.
  • Let clear overnight and bottle.

Great liqueur for Christmas drinking or Christmas gifts. Cranberry solids are great for making cranberry loafs (with a kick!) Very good served with soda water and orange juice.
