Preserved Blackberry Puree

Post: # 123513Post Liability Bennett »

I know of thtis amazing blackberry jam cocktail that requires 50ml of Brandy, 25ml of lime, and 50 ml of a thin blackberry jam, shaken over ice and served in a martini glass. MMMMMM. I never got the recipe for the jam off the lady who made it, but it was the consistency of a puree. Does anybody have any idea how I could recreate the recipe?

At 50 ml of brandy a go, I wouldn't worry :lol:

Experiment with an ordinary jam - water it down with hot water and allow it to cool. I suspect that it would be equally gorgeous (or more so) with strawberry jam. What the hell - by the time you're on the third experiment, you'll be sitting down and gripping the chair.

sounds like a worthwhile experiment to me ... :drunken: you could use a syrup/cordial
