Cranberry Cordial

• 1 package (12 oz.) fresh cranberries
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups light corn syrup
• 2 cups vodka
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup brandy

Instructions:
Coarsely chop the cranberries in the food processor (easy!) or by hand (not so easy), and mix in a large bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Stir until well mixed and the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into a large glass jar; cover and store in a cool, dark place for at least one month, stirring or shaking the jar every few days. Strain through a strainer lined with dampened cheesecloth. Store at room temperature for up to three months, or refrigerate for longer storage.
Makes about one quart.
