Hey Guys and Gals! A saskatoon berry liqueur made by steeping the berries in vodka, straining, and optionally sweetening.
Ingredients
Step 1
6 to 7 cups saskatoon berries
3 cups vodka
Step 2 (optional)
1 cup of sugar
1 cup water
Directions
1. Remove the stems, rinse the berries and dry them on a baking sheet. Use only ripe berries that are not punctured or rotten.
2. Put the berries in a container, add the vodka, close and shake.
3. Let sit in a cool, dry place for a month.
4. Strain through cheesecloth, gently wringing it to extract the remaining liquid.
5. Optional: boil the water in a saucepan and stir in the sugar without letting it burn. Let cool, then pour it in slowly, tasting so you do not over-sweeten.
6. Age another 3 weeks.
