I don't like jam though :-(
I'm going to try making damson gin. Like sloe gin but damsons, why
not? Or wash the demi-johns out for some wine perhaps.


I make damson gin! Do you want my recipe?


Yes please!



Damson Gin:

3 lb damsons
3 lb sugar
1 x 70cl bottle gin (use the cheapest possible)

Put into screw-top glass jars or demi-johns (no need to prick damsons). Stir
or turn every day for at least six weeks until sugar is dissolved. Bottle.

Drink .
Fall over :-)
