Hazelnut Liqueur (Homemade Frangelico) image

Plan ahead. This takes about 5-6 weeks to 'mature'. I'm guessing at the number of servings since there were none given with the recipe. From Glorious Liqueurs by Mary Morris.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb hazelnuts, finely chopped
1 1/2 c vodka
1/3 c sugar
3 Tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. In a glass bottle or jar, steep the chopped hazelnuts in the vodka for about 2 weeks in a cool, dark place, gently shaking the bottle every day.
  • 2. Gently pour the contents through a strainer or sieve, pressing hard on the nuts to release all the flavor.
  • 3. Follow this by 2 strainings through slightly dampened cheesecloth or large coffee filter; loosely cover the contents with plastic wrap, since the process may take several hours.
  • 4. In a very small saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
  • 5. Bring to a boil over moderate-high heat.
  • 6. Simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes.
  • 7. Let cool to room temperature.
  • 8. Stir in the vanilla.
  • 9. Funnel into a glass bottle, then funnel in the sugar syrup.
  • 10. Cover tightly; shake to blend.
  • 11. Let mature at room temperature, or slightly cooler, for at least 3 weeks.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover hazelnuts. I always have a few extra nuts after baking, and this is a great way to use them up.
