Directions: |
Directions:Make sure you have a ripe yet unblemished pear and rise and pat dry. Pierce the pear all over with a fine skewer. Place the pear in a sterilized glass jar that it fits quite snugly and will allow your 500 ml of vodka. Add the spices and orange peel. (To make the dried orange peel simply used a potato peeler to peel strips of skin off an unwaxed or well scrubbed and rinsed orange making sure you just take the skin and not the bitter white pith. Leave this on a radiator or in an airing cupboard overnight, or warm in a very low oven till completely dried.) Fill jar with vodka and pop on the lid. Set on a sunny windowsill for one (1) week. After one (1) week open the jar and add the sugar. Shake well and set aside in a cool dark cupboard for a further week making sure you give it a shake every day or so to get the sugar to completely dissolve. Remove pear and spices from the jar and strain the contents through a sieve lined with a double layer of muslin (or use a coffee filter). Straining twice creates a really clear liqueur. Decant the liquid into a sterilized bottle and enjoy! |
