Instructions: Crush the cranberries evenly in a food processor or use a mortar and pestle. Peel the rind, being careful to avoid the bitter white pith.

Squeeze the juice and add it and the rind to the cranberries in a large jar. Add the sugar, cinnamon stick, and vodka to the jar and seal securely. Shake the jar well to combine all ingredients. Store in a cool place for a month, shaking every few days.

After a month, strain through a funnel and filter paper into pretty bottles. Last year I made cranberry sauce with the cranberries strained from the liqueur.
