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!)

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.
