CINNAMON SPICE LIQUEUR

Steps:

• In a quart jar, add spices, 1 cup sugar, and vodka.
• Seal jar tightly, and place in a dry, dark place for about 2 weeks.
• After two weeks, strain the liquid using a double layer of cheese cloth.
• In a fresh quart jar, add the second cup of sugar, glycerin, water to top and the strained liquid. Seal and store again in a dark place until sugar is dissolved.
• Once the sugar has all dissolved, bottle the resulting liqueur in a fresh bottle and let age for roughly 3 months.

CINNAMON PEAR LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Place the pears, sugar, and spices in a large glass container with a lid such as a quart-sized mason jar.
• Add the vodka slowly, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once it is mostly dissolved, add as much of the vodka as will fit.
• Close the lid and place your vodka infusion in a dark, cool place (like a kitchen cabinet away from the stove) for 4-7 days, stirring once a day. Taste test your infusion on day 4--if it tastes good to you, it's done! If you'd like a stronger flavor, keep infusing for several more days. Once infused to your liking, strain out the fruit and spices. It's ready for drinking!

LIQUEUR DE POIRE (PEAR LIQUEUR)

Steps:

• Place pear and spices in a jar large enough to hold all of the vodka. Seal and place in a sunny window for one month.
• After the one month period, add sugar and reseal.
• Place jar in a location that receives sunlight for at least part of the day, for 3 months. Periodically shake the jar when you check on its progress.
• Strain into a pretty bottle and cork. You can add the used cinnamon stick & nutmeg to the bottle for decoration.
