So far, we have tart cherry and Dolgo crabapple versions sitting on the shelf and have yet to make a raspberry version. We also made a cherry version with brandy (also known as cherry bounce), but it tastes a little cough syrup-y. We also used the cheap vodka. Our measurements weren't precise but we've discovered that it's just about impossible to go wrong with fruit + vodka + sugar. And yes, the aging step takes patience.

Did it have you mash the blueberries? A lot of people will just chop them. For berries... works best if you blender the crap out of it all.

A lot of people will just chop them. For berries… works best if you blender the crap out of it all.

I would think especially if you're adding sugar. I didn't think of adding sugar to the infusion, I bet that makes a big difference. Mine wasn't very blueberry-y.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this blog post. I adore blueberries. It sounds like this recipe captures their essence perfectly. I can only hope my Blueberry Liqueur will turn out looking just like you're photos. I would be one happy girl! I've already started wrapping some of my jars with holiday bows. This is the year I'm going to be ready for the holidays instead of letting them sneak up on me, like they usually do. GORGEOUS. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this blog post.
