Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

I've never been to 5 Guys, but I love Wendy's
I kinda am afraid to try new things.

I'm extra extra courageous when the new thing involves something to eat or drink

12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries
2-3 cups of vodka (can use brandy if you prefer)
Zest of 3 oranges
1 cup sugar
Cheesecloth and coffee filters
Large funnel for straining & filling bottles

Wash cranberries and then chop briefly in a food processor for best results.

Use a large glass jar with good lid (quart size or larger). Combine chopped cranberries and zest of oranges with sugar and then place in a large, clean glass container. Add 2-3 cups vodka or brandy or enough to cover the fruit. Some fruit will float and that is okay. Can add any other spices that you wish (vanilla bean, cinnamon sticks, allspice – use your imagination). Stir the mixture and cover the container tightly. Set container on a shelf, away from heat or sunlight for at least 6 weeks (longer is better). Stir or shake occasionally.

After steeping, strain the mixture using several layers of cheesecloth. Once removed from the alcohol, store the “drunken fruit” in the refrigerator and use within a few days as a dessert topping, addition to tea bread, or addition to a dessert sauce.

Take the remaining flavored alcohol and strain again using fresh cheesecloth or better yet, coffee filters to get a clear liquid with no cloudiness.

Bottle your liqueurs in clean, decorative bottles and label with a date. The liqueurs will have the best flavor after a few months of sitting on the shelf (aging). They will begin to lose their bright color and some flavor after one year but they will not “go bad” because the alcohol is the preservative.

That's a lot of sugar! But I guess it's a digestive. But it sounds very tasty.
In The north (very north) of Sweden I tasted lingonberry juice and moonshine vodka. A very tasty drink!

It is quite sweet on it's own. But a great mixer or cocktail ingredient.

I've always liked the word moonshine... its just so pretty

Dont be afraid of new things. Life would be dull and boring without a little adventure and variety. Especially with food

Yeh. Think of the things you can do with Banana's

Up north Sweden it's was very common in the 80's and 90's. I have no idea if it is the same today. I don't move around in those circles much these days.

Which “head” is he installing it in? I mean, guys probably should be tracked or “chipped” like a dog anyway….
