It’s time to put some of that amazing summer fruit non…jars of gin (or vodka) for the holidays! I used to go by Diana Henry’s formula of 1 kg chopped rhubarb to 400 g sugar to 759 mL gin-it’s great! But this time I used about 1/3 the sugar, and some Evans cherries (still with pits) and tossed some saskatoons non…one of the jars. Just put the fruit + sugar non…a jar and top with gin or vodka. (Diane lets the fruit + sugar macerate overnight first.) Store in the basement, turning the jars (or setting them upside down) every once in awhile, when you think of it. It’ll be perfect for Thanksgiving, or Christmas, oder Ähnlicheregular Tuesday a month or so from now when it’s not quite as summery out.
@lmkozelenko @ma_reeshell @cjohns333 look!!!!
Time for me to stock up on gin, apparently! 😍
@rhonalyn.rhei
Does it stay quite sweet, or does the fruit & sugar ferment in the jar?
Looks delish! What are Evans cherries and where do you find them?
Would blueberries work with rhubarb??
@jhapgood
I layer cherries with sugar in a mason jar with a fermenting lid. Let ferment until the sugar dissolves and it smells like cherry brandy. Then I top up with vodka, and close with regular canning lid. Keep the cherry pits in as it adds a nice almond flavor. Serve over ice with a twist of lemon.
@candicefraze 😍
@dinnerwithjulie How do you serve these yummy liqueurs once they are ready?? 👏👏👏
We do this all the time. Call it rhubarb hootch! ❤️
Loves my rhubarb gin & agree with cutting the sugar.
@1auralynn
Is this like sloe gin? I NEED TO TRY THIS!
What types of fruit could you use? Would apples be an option? Thinking a Christmasy/spiced apple gin?
Could a tequila work out ??
My Evans cherry tree is bursting! Definitely going to do this
👍
I pit the cherries, then include the alcohol soaked cherries in applesauce with the crabapple bounty in the fall.
You are speaking my language with a megaphone! If you have a smidge of time, could you tell me if you know if anywhere to purchase saskatoons fresh in #YYC? Only if you know off the top of your head and it is not too much trouble.💚✨
