1 Clove
1 Coriander seed
1 Apple (optional)
1 cup White granulated sugar

The bartlett pear is the best to use for liquor making. It is juicy, sweet and smooth. Avoid one with cuts, bruises, dark spots or decay.

3
Yield 1.5 pints. Container: Widemouth 1/2 gallon jar.

SUGAR SYRUP: Boil together for about 5 minutes at a full boil and be sure the sugar dissolves. The syrup MUST BE COOL before adding to the alcohol mix as the heat evaporates the alcohol.
