Components

It is especially important to prepare the base ingredients before preparing this unique product.

1. Pears. They must be ripe and fresh. Any variety will do. However, for sweet drinks you need to take Bosc, Barlett, Anjou. It is important to remove the core and seeds, otherwise the pear tincture will be very bitter.
2. Alcohol. You can take anything with a good shelf life. The priority should be vodka, moonshine of the 2nd distillation (about 40-45 degrees strength), cognac, diluted medical alcohol (up to about 40 degrees).

The result should be a pear tincture with a shelf life of 3-4 years and a pleasant aroma. But the color will depend on the ripeness of the pears, the variety and the addition of other fillings.

Tips, tricks, traditions

When preparing a drink from pears, you should know several features of the technique.

1. Not all berries can be added. Many of them can change the color, taste, and aroma of the drink. In addition, the preparation will take quite a long period of time - some berries need to be sorted, washed (several times), dried and boiled several times.
2. It is not recommended to use expensive refined alcohol (rum, gin, cognac) as a base.
3. Although pear liqueurs and liqueurs are considered wines, they are not. There is no fermentation process in the preparation. The result is a stronger product. And you can use it not only with desserts.
4. As additional fillings, fruits with small or no seeds are used. In this case, the juice will be larger in volume and richer in taste.
5. For medicinal properties, various decoctions of herbs are added to liqueurs: chamomile, jasmine, ginseng, caraway, chestnut, dandelion and other medicinal plants.

Technical, store-bought alcohol (and other alcoholic bases) should be purified by distillation. Overripe pears will not harm the quality of the tincture, but will reduce the duration of its preparation. It is necessary to strictly calculate the proportions of sugar, since additional ingredients may produce too sweet juice. Glassware should be used for preparation as it does not react with the alcohol base.
