Liqueur de Poire is a French pear liqueur that is easy to make and makes a wonderful gift. The hardest part is waiting three months for the maceration process. Be sure to shake the jar periodically when you check on its progress. Ingredients:
1 ripe pear |
1 cinnamon stick |
1 piece orange rind, pith removed |
1/2 whole nutmeg |
1 pint eau de vie or 1 pint vodka |
6 ounces sugar |
Directions:
1. Place pear and spices in a jar large enough to hold all of the vodka. Seal and place in a sunny window for one month.
2. After the one month period, add sugar and reseal.
3. Place jar in a location that receives sunlight for at least part of the day, for 3 months. Periodically shake the jar when you check on its progress.
4. Strain into a pretty bottle and cork. You can add the used cinnamon stick & nutmeg to the bottle for decoration.
