Nocino (Walnut Liqueur)
Ingredients
- 30 green English walnuts, early enough in the season so that they are easily cut with a knife
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 5 whole cloves
- 1 (1-inch) piece vanilla bean
- Zest 1 lemon, cut into strips using a vegetable peeler
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 liter vodka
Directions
- Rinse and pat dry the walnuts. Cut them into quarters with a sharp chef's knife or cleaver.
- Put the walnuts, spices, zest, sugar, and vodka into a large glass container. The vodka should cover the walnuts. Cover and shake to mix well.
- Store for 6 weeks, shaking daily: As the days go by you will notice that the color of the nocino gets darker and darker.
- When bottling, sterilize bottles than strain through cheese cloth to remove solids. Cork tightly. Best a year after it was first bottled
