Vanilla Liqueur Or Cordial Recipes

VANILLA LIQUEUR OR CORDIAL

Steps:

• Combine the first four ingredients in a saucepan; bring to boiling and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat and cool.
• Add rum and pour into bottles with tight-fitting covers.
• Let stand for at least two weeks before serving.

ORANGE-VANILLA LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Pare the peel from each orange in a spiral, producing a 1-inch-wide strip; try to get mostly the orange zest and leave most of the white membrane on the fruit.
• Put the peels in a saucepan with the 1 cup water plus the corn syrups and sugar.
• Bring to a boil and let boil, stirring constantly, 8-10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add the extracts.
• Let cool to room temperature and add the vodka.
• Pour into a jar or bottle with a tight fitting lid and let stand at least 2 weeks.

CARAMEL LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Remove the labels from the cans of milk. Place the cans into a large saucepan, and cover with a few inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 4 hours. Keep an eye on the water level, and add water as needed to keep at least an inch of water above the cans. After the cans have boiled for 4 hours, remove from the boiling water and set aside to cool for 35 minutes.
• Open the cans and scrape the browned milk into a bowl, whisk in the spiced rum until smooth, then pour into a bottle with a top. The liqueur will keep for several months in the refrigerator.
