hi September and it's the season for slow berries the slow berries come from the Hawthorn tree the black Hawthorn tree this is what they look like when you see them growing now it's a bit of an arch to be able to pick them before the birds get them before the council cut the hedges so today I went out and I was able to pick a lot of smells so you need to wash them make sure they're clean and I got to show you how to make slow Gin now all books will tell you when you make slow Gin that you have to prick the berries I'll show you a quick way because it's really good like stopping mushrooms who wants to spend the whole afternoon picking and pricking each one of these berries so the recipe I use is a pound of sugar a pound of Sloan's at a point of gin I have my sugar sugar sugar see the bishop read a lot of sugar wonderful syrup you pouring your Jim must give me another batch because you do need them burst then you pour in your pint of gin the jar you give the shape now you need to shake this every day for at least a week until the sugar has dissolved when the sugar has dissolved if you have the most wonderful pink color you put it away and you forget about it for three months so it's usually Christmas Day when I think of the slogan and you can make the most wonderful recipes which if you follow my blog I make for you and the Jim is ready thank you
