Plums are in season, and I saw a post on 66squarefeet.blogspot.com on Beach plum gin, which is pink and looks lovely.
Lo and behold, after a bit of research on the internet, I came across a recipe for plum gin, and by golly, I'm going to try my hand at it! (Let's see how many 1950's idioms I can stuff into one post).
Tonight I'm going to prick the fruit and stuff them in a kilner jar or two with some sugar for the next 2-3 days, shaking it about until the sugar dissolves. Then I'll put it away for about 3-4 months, and by October we should have a smooth Plum Gin to herald in the autumn.
Yay!
