8/21/10:
6 Kiwis purchased at Trader Joes, they were 39 cents each
2 cups Vodka (80 Proof)
1 tsp lemon juice (I find lemon juice keeps the color of the fruit nice)
Steep 2 weeks, shaking daily
Straining: 1 cup sugar syrup
add 1 cup Vodka
9/11/10: Straining, 1st straining ran through metal strainer
Let sit for an hour or so and you can see the sludge drop to the bottom of the jar
pour the clear top part into a nice bottle and strain the sludge in a smaller metal strainer
after that I ran the strained sludge through the Brita Filter, this seemed to help quite a bit in speeding up the process, I did have to run it through several times and did have to eventually rinse the filter.
I then ran the sludge part through paper coffee filters to get a very nice clear product.
Added 1 cup sugar syrup (1 cup sugar to 1/2 cup water, makes 1 cup syrup)
Added 1 cup vodka
Bottled (tastes fabulous! Jerry will love this)

This recipe turned out amazing. Gave some to my son-in-law for Christmas, he told me he had force himself not to drink it too fast. I will definitely make this again.
