RECIPE TIPS
TRY ANOTHER FLAVOUR

This recipe is easily adapted. Just use the same quantity (250g) of fresh berries - raspberries, strawberries, blackcurrants or blueberries work just as well as cranberries. 

WHICH VODKA?

You can happily use unbranded vodka for this as the cranberries provide the main bittersweet flavour.

Great using Cranberries .. even better with Raspberries (which don't need to be pricked as the shaking will break them up and release the juices) and could be ready sooner than stated if you shake the jar a couple of times a day. Make sure to squeeze all the Raspberries through the sieve though to…

Relating to the vodka/ cranberry, has any one tried using pure juice instead of the berries ?
