Hi from a newbie!

Post: # 77867Post Ali B »

:flower: Hello everyone :flower:

After months of being a pretty regular lurker I thought I would introduce myself... I'm Ali & I live in Cambridge with my 2 sons (just turned 4) & DH. We live a thrifty kind of life, do a little veg growing & a lot of preserving, a bit of foraging & lots of crafty stuff.

I found my way here when searching for recipes for stuff to do with quinces. The answer - make quince vodka - has made me very happy!

Hello! Quince vodka sounds like a very good idea. Welcome to the site.
They're not weeds - that's a habitat for wildlife, don't you know?

Hi Ali from a 'local' in Godmanchester just up the road.

Now I made about 10 different types of gin & vodka liquers this year but not quince- didn't think of that, must have a go next year sounds great!

Welcome , it's fun here!

Hiya Ali, and welcome! I wish I had that problem - not knowing what to do with quinces - my problem is not having any quinces! :roll:
