Cranberry Liqueur 1
Cranberry Liqueur 1
This is for folks who like to toast their feet by the fire while the snow falls outside. A little seasonal cheer... It also looks like a good way to use up those nasty little berries that always seem to pop up in every ones kitchen this time of year. This is from Narsai David, a Bay area restauranteur, chef and food critic.
