 I have a microwave cookbook that has some recipes for making liqueurs and


 things.  Here is one that I have tried... I'll let you know in a month how


 it tastes ;)  By the way, I was thinking of making some bottles of this


 type of thing as Christmas gifts.  ANyone else have any recipes for


 homemade liqueurs?
