Add the blackberries and sugar to a storage jar, a Wine making glass jar is idea, close the jar and give the jar a good shake to make sure the contents are thoroughly stirred up. Repeat this every day for a month. It takes a few days for the sugar to fully dissolve.
Then shake it up once a month for the following two months. (Try not to test it each time, hard but .....)
Serve neat, chilled in a special glass.
Drain off the fruit and serve on top of Ice cream, ADULTS only :twisted:
have you done this with other berries?
I haven't but a friend has done them with Raspberries and it tasted fab.
I also used to make Sloe
Brandy instead of Sloe Gin, as a liqueur and that turned out great as well.
BTW after draining the fruit you can put it through a fine sieve, to remove the seeds and then puree for a fantastic fruit sauce :thumbup:
