Steps:
- Start with clean fruit. Depending on what fruit you are using, hull the berries, pit the stone fruit, or trim rough ends from the rhubarb. Do not peel stone fruit, much flavor and color comes from the skins.
- Chop the fruit into bite sized pieces and add to a saucepan, along with the sugar. Add 1/4 cup water, and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. If your fruit is dry you may need to add a bit more water. Cook for about 5 minutes, just enough to soften the fruit.
- Puree the fruit using an immersion blender, a regular blender, or food processor.
- Add the fruit puree to the vodka and give it a stir. Let sit on the counter, covered, for 24 hours.
- Strain through a nut bag, or several layers of cheesecloth, squeezing to get all the liquid out. Discard the solids.
- Keep the liqueur in the refrigerator until needed. Note: these liqueurs need to be refrigerated because of the fresh fruit component, and should be consumed within 2 weeks.

HOMEMADE FRUIT LIQUERS
This should be a nice easy project for those willing to wait and enjoy things made by hand. Fruit liqueurs can be used anywhere from beverages to dessert and hopefully it won't become addictive from shear flavor alone. Apricots, blackberries, black currants, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, nectarines, peaches, plums and/or raspberries should be used to give the best liqueur.

Steps:
- Rinse the fruit or berries, Fruit must be cut into small pieces.
- Place berries or fruit in a container, add vodka.
- Cap and store in a cool, dark place, stir once a week for 2 - 4 weeks.
- Strain through metal colander. Transfer the unsweetened liqueur to an aging container (glass bottle or container with tight cap). To 3 cups (710) ml unsweetened liqueur add 1 1/4 cup (300 ml) granulated sugar. Let age for at least three months.
- Pour carefully the clear liqueur to a new bottle. Add more sugar if necessary.
- The flavor of almost all liqueurs improves during storage. Fruit and berry liqueurs should be stored for at least 6 months for maximum taste. Some lemon liqueurs (e.g. Limoncello) should not be stored for a long time.

BASIC FRUIT LIQUEUR
I have not tried this liqueur. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this recipe in Complete Book Of Small Batch Preserving. As well as being economical, the liqueurs are typically lighter and less sweet than the commercial ones. All of these liqueurs may be stored in the refrigerator for several months to enjoy at your leisure. Try a variety of fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, sour cherries, nectarines, peaches and plums. A splash of a fruit liqueur does wonders for fresh fruit to add elegance to a simple dessert. Added to soda water, it makes a refreshing summer spritzer. And of course pour some over ice cream or frozen yogurt. Either vodka or 40% alcohol may be used for these liqueurs.

10 DELICIOUS AND EASY HOMEMADE LIQUEUR RECIPES - THE …
From thespruceeats.com
- Replace the Kahlua. Coffee liqueurs like Kahlua and Tia Maria are among our favorite spirits in the bar. They're so useful, too. One bottle can give you a variety of cocktails, from the black Russian to the midnight martini.
- The Ever-Useful Amaretto. Amaretto is another liqueur that we use all the time in the bar. Without it, we wouldn't be able to make great cocktails like the toasted almond.
- Irish Cream Makes a Great Gift. Put down that bottle of Baileys and grab a bottle of Irish whiskey instead. It's time to make your own Irish cream. This is a quick homemade liqueur and it's a favorite gift for the holidays.
- Sweet, Delicious Limoncello. Limoncello is a very sweet lemon-flavored liqueur and it is used to create some delicious cocktails. If you enjoy a zesty dessert drink the likes of the lemon cake or in & out lemontini, try it with your own limoncello.
- Let's Get Peachy. When peach season hits, grab a couple extra pounds and make your own peach liqueur. It's sweet, fruity, and a delicious alternative to commercial schnapps for any of your favorite peach cocktails.
- The Liqueur for Cranberry Season. Though it's best with fresh cranberries, you can use the frozen variety for this tasty liqueur. That means there's no reason to wait for cranberry season to mix up an amazing crantini.
- The Sweet Taste of Lychee. Lychee is a fun tropical fruit that made its way into the cocktail scene in the early 2000s. While most of the commercial liqueurs have come and gone, you can still get a taste of it with a homemade lychee liqueur.
- Slow Down With Sloe Gin. Sloe gin is an old-fashioned liqueur made from sloe berries. A few decades ago, you could find it in many bars because it was used in fun drinks like the sloe gin fizz.
- Try a Walnut Liqueur. If you're a fan of nutty liqueurs like Frangelico, a homemade nocino may be the right liqueur for you. This is an Italian favorite that is made from walnuts that have yet to ripen, so it's a very seasonal recipe.
- Get Fancy With an Italian Amaro. When it's time to really get serious about your homemade liqueurs, give a bottle of old-fashioned Italian amaro a try.
