Poland

The orchard liqueurs: nalewki — home-made (and now craft-commercial) fruit and herb liqueurs macerated for months: wiśniówka (sour cherry), pigwówka (quince), orzechówka (green walnut), żurawinówka (cranberry) — the Polish pantry's liquid desserts.

What it is

The orchard liqueurs: nalewki — home-made (and now craft-commercial) fruit and herb liqueurs macerated for months: wiśniówka (sour cherry), pigwówka (quince), orzechówka (green walnut), żurawinówka (cranberry) — the Polish pantry's liquid desserts. Origins: noble manor houses (dwory) perfected nalewki in the 16th-19th centuries; every estate had its recipes and its locked cabinet. Made from: fruit or herbs, sugar, and neutral spirit or vodka. How it's made: 1) Macerate fruit in spirit with sugar. 2) Rest months in the dark. 3) Strain, age more, serve in tiny glasses. Served: after dinner, in thimble glasses, with pride and comparisons. Flavor: pure fruit, warming, sweet. Strength: 25-45% (the home versions vary gloriously). Culture: a host's nalewka is a signature — grandmothers' bottles are family archives. See also: Żubrówka, Polish Vodka.
