  Step 1

  Once you've prepared your fruit (removed pips, peeled and cleaned)place them in the jar. Take your vodka and pour into the jar with the fruit, making sure all the fruit is covered in vodka. Place a piece of wax paper on the rim of the jar and seal.

  Place the jar in a cool dark place.

  Check vodka weekly-fortnightly. Once you have the flavour you're after take the vodka and strain the fruit out.

  At this point you can crush the fruit to get more juice out or you can use the fruit in cooking.

  I normally crush the cherries and discard the flesh as cherries become "bleached" once used in vodka and don't have a very appetising apearance.

  Note: My dad enjoys pinching some of the cherries and putting them in a glass of lemonade (he's very pleased with a "lemonade" at the end of a long day)

  Pour strained vodka back into bottles and label.

  Give them as gifts or keep them for yourself and enjoy an infused vodka at your next dinner party!

  Remeber to drink responsibly and NEVER DRINK & DRIVE!

I'm so going to make this! But I think you should have added that you need to put the jars in an oven before putting the cherry/vodka mix in them, because that completely sterilizes the jar.

My mom does this with cranberries! And she makes shot glasses out of chocolate. It's pretty amazing.
