Norfolk Damson Gin
Ingredients
- 400g of Norfolk damson, washed
- 200g of sugar
- 700ml of gin
Method
1 Wash the Norfolk damsons and gently prick each one with a fork
2 Place the Norfolk damsons into a clean jar along with the sugar and gin. Close the lid and give it a good shake
3 Store in a cool dark place for 3 months. After 3 months, strain the Norfolk damsons and taste the gin. If you’d like it a little sweeter, you can add more sugar at this stage
4 Transfer to a bottle – your Norfolk damson gin is now ready to drink, though really benefits from ageing. We would recommend making a few batches so you can drink one and keep one for the next year (which will taste even better)
