    1                    Clove

   Note: Blueberries can be bought in season (May to Sept). Avoid stained
   baskets and DO NOT rinse until ready to use. If freezing, do so BEFORE
   rinsing. Rinse with cold water. Rinse berries and lightly crush. Add
   vodka, lemon peel, and clove. Pour in DARK bottle and store for 3-4
   months. Strain through dampened cheesecloth squeezing out as much juice as
   possible. Add sugar syrup to taste and store another 4 weeks. Liqueur will
   tend to be on the watery side. Try adding glycerine if a thicker
   consistency is desired. Good for baking. Container: Wide mouth quart jar
