"I always associate autumn with cranberries. Here is an elegant liqueur with a rich red color 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."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine cranberries with 2 cups sugar.
Step 2
Add water and boil 4-5 minutes until skins start to pop.
Step 3
Remove from heat and cool.
Step 4
Put in a mixing jar, add vodka and shake vigorously.
Step 5
Cover and leave to infuse at least 7 days, shaking or stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Pour thru a coarse strainer and discard berries.
Step 7
Let rest 3-4 days.
Step 8
Without shaking the jar, decant only the clear liquor into another jar, leaving white residue in the original jar.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Combine liqueur with 2 more cups of sugar and shake vigorously until sugar is absorbed.
Step 11
Let clear overnight and bottle.
Step 12
Makes about 1 quart.
