Earlier this week I bought a book called 'Damson .. from hedgerow to Harvest' written by Lynda Hallihan.. she is a garderner and Author and lives in a near by district.. I have fond memories of the Damson plum as my Husbands family use to grow them and there was lots of jam made in the season .. I have heard @happypat talk of Damson Gin so I thought I had to source some so that I could make some jam and gin .. well the gin is made ... Though I did not read the small print that you have to wait 6 months before it can be drunk .. will I have the 'will power to wait' .. So making jam in the next day or to...
Just forget that damson gin - put it in a back cupboard. I've heard Pat talk about all her gins. Us down here in the wilds of the South, only have ordinary gin. We did try to make wine once with our grapes but it just exploded all over the cellar, bottle by bottle!
