Last summer/autumn DH picked several kilos of bullace plums and damsons in the hedgerows near where we live and we made gin from them .This involved buying many many litres of gin at Morrison's, being the cheapest source. Funnily, nobody batted an eyelid at our purchase of industrial size supplies except one dear lady who just smiled understandingly when DH said confidentially "We're having the grandson to stay!" Anyway, we gave bottles away to family and friends for Christmas with the exhortation that if they wanted refills NEXT year, we wanted the bottles back.We did keep some for ourselves, and on this cold and wet May evening, I am really appreciating the effect of our "hedgerow gin"
Quite a few bottles finding their way home and I notice I can keep a check on who finished theirs first too!
Two batches I think.......
We may need more.....
!
Sounds heavenly!
What is the significance of the 44 cuts? It sounds like NHS vodka
Ooh, I think it's all part of notso's witchcraft, gracesmum! Best not to ask.
From Wiki....
44 is a Happy Number
A happy number is defined by the following process. Starting with any positive integer, replace the number by the sum of the squares of its digits, and repeat the process until the number equals 1 (where it will stay), or it loops endlessly in a cycle which does not include 1. Those numbers for which this process ends in 1 are happy numbers, while those that do not end in 1 are unhappy numbers (or sad numbers[1]).
I don't understand that sober, much less after a glass of the liqueur. Still, if drinking it makes you happy, they must be right.
