Apple Vodka DIY

I've been meaning to share this with you for weeks now, but I keep getting side-tracked with more seemingly exciting things, like Soup Sundays, Halloween and giveaways.

As you can see, I made some homemade apple vodka.  It was ridiculously easy, and I'm so thrilled with the results that I'm certain a few jars will likely find it's way into my homemade holiday gift stash.

The process is quite simple; remove the core from the centre of an apple and roughly chop the remaining parts, leaving the skin intact.  Fill a mason jar half way with the apples pieces and cover with vodka.  Seal tightly with a lid and place in a cool, dark space for 3-4 days.  Visit your vodka once a day and give the jar a little shake.  

After four days, strain the apple pieces, using a metal sieve lined with cheesecloth, and pour the vodka back into the jar.  Seal it tightly and affix with a fun label.

How easy is that? Not to mention it's pretty tasty too. 

For gift giving I would likely include a recipe that could use the vodka, or I might even give it with a nice set of new highballs or fun drinking glasses.

PS - The giveaway for the Janes Family Foods (you can like their Facebook page too!) prize pack has beenannounced.  Thank you to everyone who entered!
