Food for Free


At the end of every Summer I have taken to obsessively foraging. As a child I would always pick Blackberries, Blackcurrents and Gooseberries and find ways to make the fruit more exciting. As an adult I am equally as enthusiastic. Anything which can be found in a hedgerow or field or mountain top which is edible I will help myself too.

A good friend of mine has a steady source of Damsons and I froze some Sloes two years ago, so It was time to get my next batch of Winter drinks underway. The fruit was added to Gin and Vodka accompanied by a heap of sugar. In 3-6 months time we shall try out our stock with friends and some wine and cheese.
