Look for 1-quart cordial bottles, carafes, or mason jars with necks wide enough for adding the fruit (and removing it, if desired, after the liqueur has matured). You may need slightly more or less fruit, vodka, and rock candy, depending on the size of the containers.

Tip:

Rock candy can be purchased from The Original Fudge Kitchen (1-800-233-8343; www.fudgekitchens.com).
