How to make blackcurrant vodka
We have had a good blackcurrant crop this year. Most of it went into jam but I did commit to making blackcurrant vodka. Here's the video.
The recipe I use is:
300g sugar
150g blackcurrants
70cl cheap, supermarket own brand vodka
Add the fruit and sugar to a storage jar and pour in the vodka. Close the jar and give it a shake.
Shake the jar once a day until the sugar is dissolved. That can take up to two weeks.
After three months (and occasional shakes) strain the liquid and put into bottles.
