Cranberry Liqueur

    Cuisine:

    How long can I leave the cranberries sitting in the vodka before straining and bottling? And can I "bottle" it in a mason jar? Does it need to be sealed or refridgerated at that point?

    Cranberry Liqueur,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!) ,How long can I leave the cranberries sitting in the vodka before straining and bottling? And can I “bottle” it in a mason jar? Does it need to be sealed or refridgerated at that point?,I made this so I could try Rita’s A Jolly Christmas Special Cosmo so I cut the recipe down to 1/4 as I wanted to try a smaller portion before committing that much vodka.. For us, the final liqueur is a bit cough syrupy, but I would make it again stopping at step 8 as we loved the cranberry infused vodka. At steps 8/9 I didn’t have any white residue so I just strained it again through a very fine mesh sieve.
