1 liter
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 2 pears, cored and chopped
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 -2 cinnamon stick
- 10 -20 whole cloves
- 750 ml vodka (midgrade is fine)
directions
- Place the pears, sugar, and spices in a large glass container with a lid such as a quart-sized mason jar.
- Add the vodka slowly, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once it is mostly dissolved, add as much of the vodka as will fit.
- Close the lid and place your vodka infusion in a dark, cool place (like a kitchen cabinet away from the stove) for 4-7 days, stirring once a day. Taste test your infusion on day 4--if it tastes good to you, it's done! If you'd like a stronger flavor, keep infusing for several more days. Once infused to your liking, strain out the fruit and spices. It's ready for drinking!
