All Natural Raspberry Schnapps

"No flavorings necessary! Be sure to get some fresh, ultra-ripe raspberries, and you are 6 weeks away from the most amazing after-dinner treat. Don't let the 6 week factor get you down - it takes time for the fruit to infuse naturally. With a wonderful aroma and a warm feel going down, you'll be upset you didn't make more when Raspberries were in season! Please drink responsibly. :) Let me know what you think!"

directions

  • Find a good sealing glass jar- An old spaghetti sauce jar with lid works nicely.
  • Please note that the above amounts are approximate, depending on the size jar you use- and how much you'd like to make.
  • Fill the jar halfway with uber-ripe raspberries.
  • Fill the rest of the way with sugar cubes.
  • Pour Vodka into the jar up to the top.
  • SEAL the jar, and shake for 10-15 seconds, and then place the jar somewhere you'll be sure to see it every day- out of direct sunlight.
  • Shake the jar for 10-15 seconds EVERY DAY for about 6 weeks- You'll notice the berries break up more, and the sugar will totally dissolve over time.
  • (It is helpful to mark the end date on your calendar- if you go over, it's no big deal).
  • AT THE END OF THE 6 WEEKS, open the jar and strain the Raspberry Schnapps through cheesecloth; I like to tightly rubber band the cheesecloth around the opening and let it drain for a few hours.
  • After it has drained, you may gently squeeze the extra juice out of the fruit; Try not to over-squeeze, or you'll get fruit as well.
  • STORAGE: You may store this in a clean glass jar; What I like to do is store the schnapps in a pretty glass decanter with a stopper you could find at a thrift store- and while you're there, you can probably find some Schnapps Glasses!
  • They look like teeny wine glasses- Some have longer stems than others.
  • SERVING TIPS: Serve at room temperature in Schnapps glasses, if you have them; If not, pour a small amount into a wine glass and enjoy.
  • NOTE: You may substitute Loganberries, Marionberries, or whatever kinds of berries or fruit as you wish.

Hello!<table align=right bgcolor=#ffa573 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=0 margin=200 width=306><tr><td><table bgcolor=white cellpadding=2><tr><td><img src=http://www.mikeandkathy.com/wordpress/wp-gallery/2007-08kids/slides/P8220016.jpg width=300></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>I am the husband to my wife and father to my boy and girl, singer, songwriter, and enjoy cooking as a hobby (and even a stress release). Although I'm not formally trained, I can do more than boil water. Going out to eat becomes less and less pleasurable, the more I learn...I find myself thinking, "I can make this...And it won't cost $18.95!" SO - I learn to make it through trial and error, and maybe get some help from the folks at 'zaar! :) My wife and I make our own pizza, our own espresso drinks, and bake our own bread, thanks to recipezaar! I love this site - there's so many new things I'd like to try!
