You all seem to be such proficient chefs. Well here is a place to share some of that cooking knowledge. Or do you have a cooking problem? Ask away. Jams and chutneys go here too.

I might have to have a go at that (sounds about my level of skill!). How long do you leave it for before you can drink it? :iconbiggrin: And how long will it last for in it's big jug? (And I mean, without the 'as long as it takes you to drink it' jokes.... :wink: )
lol ... my fella was wondering how long it would last ... I put the strawbs in any glass container with a lid not a ball of screwed up kitchen roll and cling film I found my bungs now...with a littl bit of suger as you would for sloes ... last year I left then in ages .. I tasted some today and it was rather delish ... so loong time not a must, so bottled it and had some of the strawbs with yogurt for dessert :icon_smile: and turned the rest into jam ... dunno if it will taste ginny or not its the first time I have done that...
as long as the bottle is sealed well as its a spirit it should keep ...as long as you can keep your hands off it... :icon_smile:
