Damons? Plums?
Rusty Hinge 2 writes
The message from K contains these words: Rusty Hinge writes 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. Strange, since wild have a much more intense flavour, but I had the same experience Well, mine are sharper, but with less 'classic strawberry' flavour when eaten raw and unpickled. I'm not sure whether mine are wild or alpine (they were already here when I bought the house) - suspect the latter. In a wet year like this they can attain the size of marbles, they produce lots of runners (I let them grow where they will and just heave out an armful when I want to plant anything), started fruiting in May and are still producing a few berries. I've even had enough to put a few boxes in the deepfreeze. -- Kay |
