Betty's Blackberry Whisky Liquer

I was speaking about picking blackberries on Fridays Show much to the disgust of Josephine who listens on-line in Monterey, California. (If you miss them that much you'd move back to Norfolk!) I received an e-mail from Betty in Thrapston who supplied this recipe.

Blackberry Whiskey Liquer.
Put 9oz of blackberries into a Kilner jar.
Add 9oz of sugar.
Pour a bottle of the least expensive whisky over until full.
Screw on the lid and give a gentle shake daily until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Leave for about 3 weeks then strain the liquid through a muslin and bottle it.
This can be drunk immediately but not all at once!

Use the left over blackberries in a blackberry and apple crumble! (a word of advice - don't give it to the kids!)
