Recipes For Preserves
When we discuss food preservation, we are
usually talking about canning, dehydrating, freezing or fermenting. But
did you know that you can also preserve fruit in alcohol, such as
brandy or vodka? It is a way of preserving the flavor or essence of the
fruit for later use.
This method consists of steeping fresh or
frozen fruit in alcohol for several weeks. In the end, you end up with
some “drunken fruit” (good as a dessert topping) and a flavorful alcohol
that can be used to make dazzling cocktails, punch, deserts or sauces.
But if you take it a step further and add a little sugar syrup to the
mix , you now have delicious homemade liqueur! WOW!Better than store bought and packed with flavor, these little liqueur
gems are versatile in the kitchen and very easy to make. What’s more,
they make terrific gifts at holiday time.
