How have you spent your bank holiday weekend?

I made Damson Gin!




3 kg damsons, wind-fallen, washed and pricked with a fork
1 kg sugar
2 litres gin

:)


I also put the marrow rum in a demi-john, to continue fermenting with a teaspoon of wine yeast.  I squeezed as much liquid as possible from the marrow through the tights into the bowl, helping it on its way by poking some holes through with a fork.  It had truly crumpled in on itself and had already leaked quite a lot of liquid.  Then, having transferred the liquid to a demi-john with a funnel and sieve, I added about another half the volume in water after this photo.  Only time will tell if this is even drinkable!!  It certainly has an 'interesting' niff to it at the moment!
