Orban secure another sweeping victory in the recent election. Many Hungarians, like Mr. Hajas, 42, just want to be left in peace to make their palinka.

Though palinka is a mainstay of the Hungarian countryside, it can go upscale. Plenty of palinka is being made in and around Budapest. Hajas owns a business that makes measuring equipment for manufacturing companies.

He started making palinka two years ago, rediscovering a tradition practiced by his grandfather. There were misfires along the way.

That was a pretty big mistake. Of course, making home-brewed hard liquor is not without risk. Dozens of people recently died in Kenya after drinking bootlegged liquor, and such deaths have also been a problem in the Czech Republic.

So care is required. To make palinka, Mr. Hajas said, you start by gathering the fruit you want to use. He uses cherries from a tree in his yard or blackberries that grow along a fence.

Next, you put the fruit into a barrel with some sugar, and for some fruits, like apples, you add water. Then you close the barrel, and wait four to seven weeks, stirring the contents daily.

Hajas explained. You then move the liquid to the distilling pot and start heating it very slowly at a low temperature.

The two pots are connected by piping, and the second pot is used to cool the liquid. Last but NOT least it is whole lot cheaper.

Agree with the previous 2 posters: we are lucky enough to have a source of home made, bottles per annum is enough for that stuff!

Agardi, which John recommends, can be bought from Bortarsasag who I believe will deliver internationally, but they only sell 33cl bottles I think.

Szatmar Romanian: Satu Mare is traditionally a centre for the making of great palinka, based on my experience a reputation well deserved, you could try and find someone there via google.

Perhaps local adverts is worth to explore where I might find someone who would be able to sell and send it abroad.

Sadly, it's illegal to sell the home brew If you find yourself with enough time in wine country in Hungary to do one or more winery tours, you can ask the winemakers if they know of any sources of home-brew palinka; sometimes they do.
