The message
from Sacha contains these words:
Cassis is certainly blackcurrants but you can ask for a Kir Mūres in France
and get the blackberry version. I don't like Kir Cassis though a Kir
Framboise will do if I'm absolutely pushed. ;-)
Strawberries steeped in whisky with added sugar make a fine liqueur, and
you'd never know the spirit was whisky.
I made a bottle with wild strawberries this year, and it was rather
disappointing.
The next batch will be with cultivated strawbs.
This is making me think of a Scottish dish involving whisky and oats - can't
remember if fruit comes into it but think honey does. Is it brose -
something like that?
There are two similar ones, one of which is Atholl Brose.
The one I remember is basically mountains (1) of whipped cream with a
large amount of whisky stirred in alond with toasted oatmeal, and served
with raspeberries
(1) it was 'mountains' when I leant the recipe - we were cooking for 30
people.
