The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

2-5 hrs
ingredients
4 cups chopped pecans
1 3/4 cup chopped candied pineapple
1 1/2 cup chopped dried peaches or apricots
1 1/2 cup golden raisins
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
directions
Grease and flour two 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans. Line the bottoms with waxed paper; grease and flour the paper. Set aside.
Combine the pecans, pineapple, peaches, raisins and 1/2 cup flour; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add 1/2 cup peach nectar, honey, and milk; beat well {Mixture will appear curdled}. Combine cinnamon, baking powder, salt, allspice, and remaining flour; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Add pecan mixture; stir well.
Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. With a skewer, poke holes in the loaves. Spoon remaining nectar over loaves.
Let stand 10 minutes; remove from pans to a wire rack to cool completely. Wrap tightly and store in a cool place. Slice and bring to room temperature before serving.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
