Apple liqueur
Yes, apples make for an excellent liqueur too. Not to mention the delicious seed liqueur, for which I've been collecting apple seeds for the past half year. Last autumn I prepared a fruit one and I have been enjoying this flavoured addition to coffee, or to any dessert, until today. The guests do not complain either:-)
"Apple liqueur"
- 1 kilo apples without stalks
- 1/2 litre vodka
- 1/2 litre brandy
- 1/4 litre spirits to boost taste (optional)
- 1/2 glass sugar and 3/4 glass water
- a stick of canella or two cloves, optional
Quarter the fruit or cut into smaller pieces, keep the seeds. Put them in a jar, add the different alcohols and leave, tightly closed, for about a month. You may add a canella stick.
After a month dissolve sugar in boiling water, leave to cool and add to the apple and alcohol mixture. Wait for another month.
Pour all into bottles and keep tightly closed for a few months. The longer the better. A good lesson of patience:-)
