A couple of months ago I was given a recipe for Blueberry Gin by one of the extremely talented OU folk... that is not just talented in the writing department, but also this is a woman with 4 kids and still has time to do loads of baking and concoct interesting alcohol infusions too. I'm full of admiration.
Tonight for all kinds of reasons I decided to see what my Blueberry Gin tasted like. And all I can say is yummy, yummy, yummy.
So here is the exact recipe that Claire gave me for one helluva delicious drink for you to try. If you make it now, it might just be ready in time for your holiday season:
Get some gin, stick a punnet of blueberries and 6 tablespoons of sugar in it and let it sit in a cool, dark cupboard for 4-6 weeks, shaking it every day. Then get pissed!
I have to admit that I put in 4 tablespoons of sugar instead of 6 because I'm not so keen on sweet things, but Claire assured me this wouldn't be a problem, and it's turned out brilliantly.
There's just one problem... and that is I'm not sure it'll last me til Xmas. Oh well, just have to get on and make some more then.
Excellent, Vee! I'm glad it worked out well for y ou!
ReplyDeleteSadly all too well Claire. If I'm not careful it won't last til the end of the week let alone til Xmas!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe tho, I'll definitely be making more.
