It is

... this is what my friend sent me Wink

Recipe is:-

Put half to 2/3rds of jar of blackberries or raspberries (or other yet to be tried out fruit),

Fill jar with vodka.

Shake every day or whenever you think about it for a couple of weeks and leave for a couple of months,

Then strain through muslin.

Eat fruit with cream and don’t drive afterwards!!! Laughing

Make sugar water (I just guess quantities) - throw sugar and water into pan and heat till dissolved then mix with the vodka little by little till you reach a taste you like.

The sugar water brings out the depth of flavour of the fruit. Bottle

( I do sterilise the bottles by putting boiling water in them, discarding then putting bottles in low oven to dry).

Lasts for ever until you open it!!! Shocked

Enjoy !!

... so it's Raspberry next then ??? Razz

Who'll join me ??
