VIRYTA (LITHUANIAN HONEY LIQUEUR)
This is a sweet, very potent beverage that can be found at Lithuanian festivals and Lithuanian social clubs in Baltimore. They usually pronounce it 'VIT-a-tis'. Viryta is usually homemade by descendants of Lithuanian immigrants, using recipes that have been handed down through the generations, and is a popular commodity around the holidays. It took me years to finally get someone to teach me how to make it; most of the people around Baltimore who make it are very secretive about their family recipes! I'd probably catch an earful if she knew I posted it online!

Steps:

LITHUANIAN HONEY LIQUER (VITITUS)
This is an old recipe that is lovely in the wintertime. I like it on the rocks but was it originally served as an after dinner cordial at a traditional Lithuanian dinner. It reminds me of cinnamon candy but much smoother and is a welcome treat on a snowy night.

Steps:
- In a saucepan combine 1 cup water, honey, cherries, sliced orange,and caraway seeds.
- Bring to a simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often.
- Let cool and then put in a storable container.
- Add whiskey.
- Let sit for a week and then remove oranges. ( I let this steep for about 30 days.).
- I strain the caraway seeds out and remove the cherries as well once I move the liquer into bottles.
- My DMIL served a bowl of the fruit after dinner. Be careful- it packs a punch as I found out.the hard way. LOL.
