CRANBERRY LIQUEUR
12-16 oz fresh (or frozen) cranberries
1 qt vodka
1 c water
2 c sugar

Blend the cranberries and vodka (I do a couple batches to not overload the blender) and pour the results into a glass or plastic container with a good fitting lid.
Let sit for 1 or 2 weeks.  (This is the time when the color and flavor of the cranberries is being infused into the vodka -- at least I think that is the term).
Strain the cranberries from the vodka (first I use a big strainer, and then I use cheese cloth) to end up with a nice red liquid.
Heat the sugar and water in a sauce pan until the sugar is dissolved.  Let cool.  Add to the cranberry liquid and bottle in something nice with a good fitting lid.
Use little liqueur glasses along with any meal that also uses or could use cranberries or cranberry sauce.  Terrific flavor.  Small quantities.  ha ha ha

A batch or double batch of this lasts most of the year around here.
