Okay. Thanks for the tip. I will be sure get a stainless steel funnel for the next time.

The recipe is great and very more-ish!!!!!!! The filtering is different in my set up. I use a large 3 litre stainless funnel with a taper spout in which I fit cottonwool as the filtering medium.
I filter into a 5 litre demi-john. fill up the funnel, cover it with a lid and let it go for a day or two.
Please use stainless for the funnel and glass for storing the liqueur.
Plastic is a big NO-NO due to leaching of harmful chemicals into your liqueur.
Cheers.

Yes, I think the same amount of Hazelnuts should work out fine.

would the nut to vodka ratio be the same if I were to do it with hazelnuts?

Vodka will be okay … I used vodka in some early test recipes and it wasn’t bad at all … the main reason for using rum was to imitate the real Kahlua.

So what would happen if I used vodka instead of rum? I don’t necessarily want to make a “Kahlua” but something like that. I just bought some vodka that’s why I ask ;)
anyway looks like a great recipe!

I’ve got more than enough fruit to try making two batches, so I should think that’s what I’ll do. Should be interesting to note the results.

Thanks.

This is the first I have heard of bison grass vodka (I looked it up in Wikipedia). All I can say is try it and see. It should come out okay.

Hi,

Stumbled across this site and recipe whilst looking for ways to use up the 40-or-so pounds of fruit that my own cherry tree has spat out this year. I could only warrant using up so much on making pie, conserve, etc. And a liqueur seems a novel way of using up a few pounds! That said, I can’t say I’ve ever made a liqueur before and I’m unsure as to whether any one kind of vodka is better than another. I have a bottle of bison grass vodka that I wouldn’t mind using, but would a ‘plain’ vodka be better? How would each impact the taste of the final product?

Many Thanks,

Some English Bloke.
