MACEDOINE DE FRUTAS EXOTICAS (TROPICAL FRUITS IN LIQUEUR)

Steps:

• In a bowl combine brandy and liqueur; add fruit and nuts then mix lightly.
• Add sugar to taste, chill until serving.

TROPICAL FRUIT LIQUEUR

Steps:

• In a quart jar, add fruit, 1 cup sugar, and vodka. (I use frozen berries as the freezing process breaks down the cell walls, allowing you to get more juice).
• 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. Gently squeeze the fruit, getting as much juice as possible.
• 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.
