Tangerine Liqueur
3 cups 80 proof vodka
1 cup Water
2 Dozen ripe tangerines
2 lb White sugar
1 Dozen whole cloves
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Wash and peel tangerines. Remove any large pieces of pith remaining on inside of peel. Section tangerines and then cut each section into two or three pieces. Put tangerine pieces and peel in a jar with vodka, water, cinnamon, and cloves. Add white sugar and shake vigorously until sugar is dissolved. Cover. Let mixture set for three weeks, then strain and let the liqueur settle until clear. This usually takes a week or ten days.
