  • 1 vanilla bean (cut lengthwise)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

  • 2 cups rye whiskey
steps
  1. Combine all ingredients except for cranberries and whiskey into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil stirring frequently.
  2. Add cranberries and reduce heat to simmer for 5-10 minutes but don’t overcook as the cranberries will burst.

  4. Once cool, transfer into to a tight-fitting glass jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
