This is a recipe we have made in my household, my father used to make it, for over 30 years. If you have ever had Chambord this is very similar only you can make it yourself and save some money. Don't make this if you are under the age of 21. Underage drinking is bad. Mkay?
Supplies needed:
a 2 quart canning or similar sized jar with leak proof lid.
Ingredients
2 cups of good quality vodka
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of fresh raspberries (Frozen whole raspberries will work in a pinch)
Combine sugar and vodka in jar and mix. The sugar will not dissolve and there will be a lot left. This is normal.
Add the 2 cups of whole raspberries. do not crush them or shake the container once the berries are added. If they break apart it makes it harder to strain them out at the end.
Place the cover tightly on the jar and lay it on it's side. Over the next approximately week and a half rotate the jar 1/4 turn so the sugar comes up the side of the jar a couple times per day until all sugar is dissolved.
When sugar is completely dissolved strain out the raspberries and place the liqueur in a container of your choice. I use a glass decanter.
I would recommend against using any kind of lead crystal decanter as the lead will leach into the alcohol and you could potentially give yourself lead poisoning. Yes lead crystal is made using real lead. Look it up.
