Hi folks,
Long time lurker but newbie poster here with a question for all you experts please
I've made rasp vodka, sloe gin, damson gin & bramble something with recipes from here but only using the fresh fruit from the garden.
I don't drink but they've always gone down very well with friends & family - possibly too well as I've run out & would like to get some more done for next year's pressies if possible.
Has anybody tried making rasp or bramble vodka with frozen fruit? Does it work as well as the fresh fruit? This year was so good for rasps & brambles that I've got pounds & pounds of both in the freezer ........... thought it might be good to use some in anything but jams & jellies as I'm heartily sick of looking at the jam pot!
Thanking you for any advice - always greatly received,
Jo
Hi Jo, welcome
cant see why it shouldn't work, in fact it should be great as the fruit will have softened from being frozen, I know fruit always looks a bit wet when it's been frozen and defrosted, but as Martin will probably explain if he sees this, it's something to do with the breaking down of the molecular structure, rather than more water, I'd definitely do it.
Are we having fun yet? I am!
