| Jamie’s Cranberry Cordial 2 cups sugar 2 cups of inexpensive Vodka 4 cups of fresh cranberries 6 whole cloves 1 strip of orange peel Mix sugar and vodka in a non-metallic container - add cloves and orange peel and stir together. |

| Chop cranberries in a food processor and mix into sugar mixture. Makes 1 quart. I usually triple the recipe to make a large batch. Cover and let it sit on the kitchen counter for a few weeks, stirring it occasionally, every few days. |

| When finished soaking together, strain through a sieve and pour into bottles or jars and give as gifts to friends and family. It is a very festive hostess gift. The cordial can be added to champagne for a colorful holiday cocktail, or you can make martinis with it. I think it’s delightful in a cup of peppermint tea to warm you up on a cold night. Okay, now you’re looking at those leftovers, the cranberries soaked in vodka - what to do with them. I’ve used them in a cake or cranberry bread. Cheers! I haven't bottled this patch yet, so there is no picture of the end result. Should be good for at least 6 months, and just leave it on the counter, but not in direct sunlight. Cheers to you! |
