Homemade Cranberry Liqueur Recipe

[JaimeLynne]

One of my clients made this for me as an Xmas gift, and then after Christmas we went over to her house to learn how to make it ourselves! I've also got a yummy cocktail recipe to go along with it - basically just fresh squeezed lime juice, cointreau, cranberry liqueur and I think some extra vodka (not sure on this part). I'll need to email her for the exact measurements though...

 

Homemade Cranberry Liqueur:

 

2 Cups Sugar

1 Cup Water

1 (12 oz.) Package Cranberries

3 Cups Vodka

 

1. Combine sugar & water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves.

 

2. Place cranberries in a food processor and process until finely chopped.

 

3. Combine sugar mixture, cranberries and vodka in a large jar.

 

4. Let stand 3 weeks in a cool dark place, shaking every other day.

 

5. Strain mixture through cheesecloth lined sieve. Pour into glass jars.
