Cherry gin 🍒🍹

Many years ago my Mum surpised our traditional family Christmas by presenting us with a new drink: Damson Gin. She had soaked damsons in gin with sugar for a few months - and it was soooo good 🎊!! Now I have her hand-written recipe folder with me, and was reminded of that amazing moment. And I decided to give it a try. I mean why buy flavoured gin when we can make our own with the flavours we love?! My favourite fruit is cherry, and here is the cherry gin I made last month in full Spanish cherry season. I couldn't wait until Christmas to try it 🤷‍♀️ but after tasting it (amazing 💥❣️) I made another litre which is hidden away until then. I guess we could make this drink with whatever our favourite fruit, berry or plum. Here is my cherry version.

  2. 2

    Add the gin. Stir well and seal the jar (I made one batch with gin and another with vodka. The vodka is still wip..). Leave in a dark, calm cupboard for at least one month, shaking now and again when you remember. Delicious served with lots of ice, or with fizzy water.

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World. You can see more recipes (in Spanish) on my Cookpad Spain profile here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/eng/users/1089227

I made blackberry brandy last year..........1 kilo blackberries.....1 kilo demerera sugar and one litre of cheap as chips brandy, bung it in a demijohn, cork it and give it a good shake every day until sugar is dissolved then a good shake once a week, filter off after 3 months....jobs a good `un. This year I did it with a litre of Gordons gin with the addition of a stick of cinnamon, maybe I used too much sugar this year, we will see, I`ll filter it off end of september. A friend suggested a layer of blackberries, a layer of sugar, layer of blackberries, layer of sugar and so on in a demijohn to the top, let it ferment down with a loose cork in the bottle. you have a workmans winter warmer.
