Title: damson gin
Post by: Mrs Ava on August 09, 2004, 11:53:53

I am now the proud owner of a carrier bag of damsons, which have been sorted and are now residing in my freezer until I go shopping and buy a job lot of gin.  Damson gin, just in time for Christmas.  If it is half as good as the sloe gin, we are all going to be pickled!  ;D

And do remember, unlike one of our children, that when you're slurping damson or sloe gin, it's at least 26%! = Tim

The longer you (can) keep flavoured gins the better they taste (smoother).    Cheers, Tony.

We managed to hold off opening the sloe gin for 3 months this year, but I plan to give my mum and grandad a bottle in the Chrissy stockings, and I fear most of that will be gone by Christmas night!  :o ;D :P
