During Your Romantic Entertaining, Add a Touch of Liqueur By Vivienne Diane Neal

Liqueur, a sweet syrupy alcoholic beverage, can add a special touch during your romantic holiday entertaining. Serve it as a dessert, by itself, as a topping over desserts or use it in cooking.

This time, why not make your own liqueur. You will be surprise at the results, and better yet, you will know what is in it. Whether you decide to buy or try your hands at making your own liqueur, enjoy the following recipes to the fullest.

The longer your liqueur is stored, the better it will taste. Moreover, never drink and drive. Be safe and enjoy.

Currant Liqueur

2 cups currant
4 cups brandy
2 cups sugar

Combine all ingredients and stir until well blended. Pour into a glass jug, cover and store for one month or longer. Strain and use currants as a topping over desserts or in cooking.

Orange Cordial

6-8 large oranges
2 cups sugar
2 cups cream sherry

Wash, dry and slice oranges thinly. Place in a glass jar. Sprinkle sugar over oranges and then pour sherry over fruit. Cover and store eight weeks. Shake mixture, occasionally.

Strain off the liquid and store until ready to use. A very light and mild liqueur.
