One of the many things we do in preparation for Christmas (and winter) is to make liqueurs, we normally use our homegrown blackcurrants or blackberries (we're doing both this year) we pick from the hedgerows, either way the method is the same, basically it's infusing a spirit (brandy in this case) with the flavour of a fruit of some kind, the same way sloe gin is made, we're just not big gin drinkers so this is a good replacement for gin, many different spirits can be used, vodka being one of them.
It takes a few minutes to prepare then it can be left alone for a couple of months, once it's ready it takes a few minutes to strain the fruit out and bottle, if you start this a few months before christmas you'll have a nice warming winter drink for very little effort and money.Thanks for visiting.
