That time of the year again!

Damson gin making day! I have made two litres of it!

I have quite a few damsons left for pies, I have put then in the freezer.

Three good things:
1. For such a yummy drink damson gin is so easy to make!
2. Biscuit tin full again.
3. Grand designs starts again tonight!

What fun to capture the 'making of' ingredients in such an artistic way.

[Issi Bannerman]

[Mave]

[KWind]

Never heard of it before! Sounds interesting.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Looks great Pat -a wonderful still life of essential ingredient for a lovely liqueur ! I can not wait to see the finished / matured product !!

[Maggiemae]

I'll have to try and make this when the plum season arrives - thats if I don't drink all the gin first!

[Phil Howcroft]

I am not a Gin connoisseur, but I bet your Damson Gin is lovely Pat

[Babs]

Interesting, reminds me of a science experiment.

[Casablanca]

OH yay, I am coming to your house when it's ready!!

[Sue Cooper]

Great capture. I love damson gin and when the gin’s all finished the gin soaked damsons are wonderful on good quality vanilla ice cream 😁😁

[Phil]

That looks fun - I'm not a gin drinker but I'd probably enjoy the damsons hic!

[Pat Knowles]

@susiemc Never thought of that Sue!

[Pat Knowles]

@casablanca Christmas, I have some left from last year though if you want to pop round!

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft It sure is Phil!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae never made it with plums maggie only damsons or sloes, might be lovely though! It's so easy to make, do you have damsons in NZ?

[Bep]

Great shot!

[Maggiemae]

Apparently a damson is a plum, Pat. Called that in the UK. We have tons of plums in the season!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae A damson is a plum.....makes sense! A sloe is a damson to me too so not a lot of difference in any of them!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Prunus spinosa, called blackthorn or sloe, is a species of flowering plant in the rose family Rosaceae. It is native to Europe, western Asia, and locally in northwest Africa. It is also locally naturalised in New Zealand, .... now what I have found! I thought sloes were only in the northern hemisphere.. May be I have to go on a sloe boat to China?

Do you think you could post some south please?
