A little cheeky snifter in the making


Fearing we were too late to pick raspberries for our annual Raspberry Vodka making session, I popped off to Sopley PYO to see if I could get any. I was in luck! The 'autumn raspberries' were just coming into plumpness and I was assured there was 'a few'. A few?! what, like 6?

So off we trotted (Kerys too) towards the Autumn raspberries. Yup, there was 'a few'... not loads but enough to fill 2 punnets - albeit taking slightly longer than we were used to.

Recipe
1 litre vodka
1 punnet of raspberries
250g granulated sugar

Use a sterilising tablet to sterilise your jar. Wash the raspberries, pop them in the jar. Pour over the vodka. Add the sugar. Stir. Pop in a cupboard. Stir once a week. After about 3 or 4 weeks, strain through a muslin into a bowl. Pour the lovely pinky vodka goodness into sterilised bottles. Enjoy!

PS. I don't even like vodka that much but this raspberry vodka is to DIE for - you can even drink it by the shot it's so lovely and sweet and raspberry-y
