Homemade Paw Paw Liquor

I just acquired 1lb of ripe Paw Paws and am looking to turn it into a homemade liquor.

My plan is to cut them up, remove the seeds and scrape any flesh off the peel. I will then be combining the flesh with 151 Everclear and allowing it to macerate for a few days before straining.

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips to take this to the next level? Any personal experience to share?
