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.


3 cups water
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
4 ripe pears, peeled, sliced in half and cored
Combine water, vanilla and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add pears and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove fruit and set it aside to cool.
