Its been a great year for blackberries and I didnt even get too scratched this year. All my blackberries are forraged and most of them are now in the freezer awaiting a life of apple and blackberry crumble or this apple and blackberry crumble cake which im dying to make soon.
For the last few years Ive been making cherry vodka, although as I no longer have my morello cherry tree of my childhood the cherries have come from jars. This year we thought we’d have a go with blackberries. There are various methods of making fruit vodkas, usually adding sugar in at the start but this time we are going to add the sugar later on.
Recipe: add 250g fresh blackberries to 350ml vodka in a large bottle. Leave in a dark place and turn (but dont shake) once a week and leave for a few months (I’ll put an image up when theyre working again)
