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.

serves/makes:
ready in:
1-2 hrs
1-2 hrs
ingredients
2 1/2 pounds small (Japanese) eggplants
2 lemons, juiced
6 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
5 whole cloves
3 tablespoons salt
water
directions
Pierce the eggplants with a fork in the peel. Let sit in cold salted water for one hour. Place eggplants in fresh water and boil for 10 minutes.
Drain well and place in a pot (copper if possible) with the sugar and water to cover. When the sugar is dissolved add the spices and lemon juice. Cook for another 20 minutes and remove from the fire. Let the eggplants rest overnight.
Simmer until syrup is thick. Test the syrup by dropping a little onto a saucer. If the drops do not spread, setting point is reached.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
