This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

3 pounds currants, white or red
1 pound raspberries
1 pound sour cherries
sugar, see below
Mash the fruits together and let them stand in a warm place for a day.
Strain the juice into a nonreactive pan, and add 4 cups of sugar to each 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Place over low heat or inside a pan partly filled with simmering water and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Cool the syrup, then skim it, pour it into bottles and cork them tightly.
To use in drinks, add several tablespoons to glass and fill with cold water or sparkling water and ice.
NOTE: This syrup can be refrigerated for about a month, but must be used within two weeks after a bottle is opened.

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.
