  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 1 star anise

Instructions

Simple Syrup

  • Combine ½ cup of turbinado sugar (raw cane sugar) and ½ cup water in a small saucepan.  Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.  Cool. 
  • Spiced Pear Liqueur
  • Place the pear, cinnamon, star anise and cloves in a 2 cup jar.  Add 7 oz of vodka and 3 oz of the cooled simple syrup.  Seal and shake for 30 seconds. 
  • Let it infuse at room temperature for 24 hours. 
  • Strain into a jar.

Sugar - you can use regular white sugar, but turbinado adds a little more depth of flavor. 
If you want pear liqueur and not spiced pear liqueur, just omit the cinnamon, star anise and clove.
