Boozy Boozy Blast

Wow, what a week and weekend.  This past week and weekend has been canning mayhem.  Check back for all the details later.  I'm gathering pictures to add details soon.

In the mean time I share with you my boozy wonders.  I have been a bit obsessed with the boozy concoctions after reading a recipe in Sunset magazine a couple years ago.  The idea has been percolating to try my hand at it.  After stumbling on a post over at Mostly Food Stuffs detailing boozy recipes, I knew I had to give in to the urge.

I started with these gorgeous raspberries from local fruit stand.  Gorgeous!

Added to a quart mason jar and then topped with vodka.

 Put a lid on it, shake it, then set it on a cool, dark shelf for a week or so.  Give it a good shake once a day to mix all the flavors together.  Once the berries turn a ghostly white, the liquor has been fully infused.  Strain the berries out, and discard, or eat if you're feeling adventurous.  At this point you can add a simple syrup mixture for a liqueur, or serve it as a raspberry vodka.  Either way, it's best kept in the freezer.

I also have blueberry, cherry and lemon concoctions brewing.  I will share those another day.  But right now, I have some jars to go shake. :)
