Get set for summer by making this great fruity vodka.
Easy to make, and then worth the wait!
Ingredients
400g - Fresh Cherries
200g - Caster Sugar
150ml - Water
70cl - Vodka
A couple of sprigs of Rosemary – tied with string
Method
Take the cherries and de-stalk them, then gently score them with a sharp
knife – watch your fingers! No need to remove the stones.
Into a pan add the scored cherries, 150ml water and 200g caster
sugar –
Cook on a medium heat stirring occasionally until all the
sugar has dissolved and the water has a pinkish colour to it.
Leave to cool and gently spoon the mixture into a large jar.
Add the sprigs of tied rosemary and top off with a 70cl bottle of
vodka. Put the lid on tight and leave in a cool dark place for 4-5
weeks.
Sit back and wait for the magic to happen – crack open and enjoy on a summer’s day with lemonade as a mixer – or neat with crushed ice for an alcoholic slush – Yum!
Enjoy – Clare x
