Steps:
- Clean berries without washing; set aside in tall half-gallon jar.
- Mix sugar with 1 cup water and stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.
- Increase heat; bring mixture to boil and set aside to cool.
- Mix cooled syrup with vodka and pour over strawberries.
- Cover tightly and store in a cool, dark place for 1 week.
- Pass liqueur through a fine mesh strainer (eat berries :-)).
- Strain again through coffee filter into a bottle.
- Note: The reason for the double-straining is to eliminate the tiny strawberry seeds that inevitably fall off the fruit into the liqueur. The fruit can be cut into smaller pieces if very large, or left whole.

BERRY CORDIAL
This is an easy way to make cordial and it's good for gifts! Other berries such as raspberries, strawberries or blueberries may be used in place of blackberries, and rum or brandy may be used in place of the vodka.

Steps:
- Pour the sugar into a 1 quart jar. Fill the remaining space with berries, but do not pack down. Fill the jar with vodka so that the berries are completely covered. Seal the jar. Let the jar stand for 2 months, shaking the jar every week. The sugar should dissolve, and the vodka will become colored.
- Strain the liquid through a metal sieve, and then through a coffee filter to remove the fruit. Pour into pretty bottles. Drink as a cordial, or use it to flavor lemonade or iced tea.
