The finished bottles of delicious liqueur. |
I pinched the left-over pulp from Karen's liqueur and added it to my Blackberry and Elderberry wine. It filled two demijohns (9 litres or 16 pints). |
Finishing touches... |
One Christmas Pudding for this year and one for next year. |
Not wishing to be outdone by Karen I set too with this Sloe Gin. The recipe is simple: 1kg Sloes - or in this case I used the very similar Bullaces picked from 'our' loke in Norfolk. |
200kg sugar (it may need a little more at a later date but I don't want to add too much). |
We then turned our attention to making Cider - first we cleaned and sterilised all the equipment... |
then cleaned and chopped up the apples ... |
crushed them to a pulp... |
Karen finished off by making some bottles of chilli oil and tarragon oil. |
Here is a hint to our next project, plus of course the Pickled Onions, Christmas Cake etc...!! |
