See my previous posts below. Regards Duncan I have kept all my damsons from making damson vodka, damson gin and damson rum. Can any one think of a reason why they could not be used to make cheese? The alcohol wil eveporate but the flavour may add a nice twist. Any thoughts? And then........ I did try the damson cheese last year using the damsons form damson gin and damson vodka, with a few sloes from the sloe gin. It was excellent and went down a treat at the end of season shoot dinner where it was served with a fine selection of english cheese – Perfect! Hi Tracey,

I know I could use them in a pie or dry them and put in the Christmas cake, but I'm taken with the idea of a sweet and a savoury preserve from the one fruit, so thought I'd have a bash and see what happens. Any thoughts or experiences welcome. Many thanks (Just occurs to me to put them into ice-cream too, though the gin might affect the freezing time).
