I have just found a jar of damsons on gin that I put together late last summer, is it salvageable?

Should be just about ready to decant 

[Russett]

The recipe said leave it on the fruit for 6 weeks not 30! will it be ok do you think? can I eat the damsons (pity to waste them)

[taytors]

Think gin will be a winner   
Not sure about the fruit will either be to potent
or inedible,only one way to find out

[Lardman]

6 weeks  that's hardly time to turn the gin pink 

If nothing is green a fluffy, and it shouldn't be - drink away.

Cut the flesh away from the damson stones then make some chocolate truffles !

Cheers,   Tony.

Thanks for all the advice
sounds good I will report back

[A. Fallowfield]

Whatever you do don't touch it!
I'll send you my address and safely dispose of it for you along with my three year old dandelion paint stripper wine.

Freeze the damsons and use them as ice cubes for when you have a glass of ..........damson gin.

[Russett]

Thanks for all the advice, the brandy I bottled (it is an acquired taste I shopck unsuspecting friends with a glass) the damsons I covered in melted chocolate and ate spitting stones  charmingly like the lady I am - many thanks for all the advice.

Now what about veg I can grow on heavy clay with wall to wall molluscs, I am currently growing potatoes and onions and get away with runner beans  any more ideas?

I made an interesting wine from the pods of purple podded peas!  Runner bean wine can be very good.

Cheers,   Tony.

Tony your the second person that has mentioned runner bean wine, I'm thinking that we have a glut of beans at the moment may give it a shot.

Well all I can do is repeat what I was told, that the wine is something special   .  I know some root veg wines can be a little earthy....
