Hi Jennifer, I use very very light brown sugar, not the dark type, that's why it's so light in colour. I simmer the cranberries until they split, that's important, even if that means more then 10 minutes. Last, regarding the quantity, add the pan contents and vodka in a container. Mix and then fill the jar. You might have more then 1 litre so fill the 1 litre container, and the remaining in another container. After 7 days you might want to strain or not, it's up to you.

I made this per the recipe and it turned out very dark. . . not as festive and pretty as the photo. My guess is due to the brown sugar rather than cane sugar. In addition, the ingredients combined make well over a litre, so my proportions were off when I realized the remaining vodka was not going to make it in the jar. Also, did you simmer the cranberries and remove from the heat before they began splitting? Or did it make a difference? I would appreciate your directions.
