Brandy, Damson Plum

Source of Recipe

Internet


List of Ingredients

1/2 pound of caster sugar
1/2 pound damsons
1 pint of brandy




Recipe

Wash and prick the damsons and put all of the ingredients into a wide-necked glass container. Seal the container and keep it in a dark cupboard for eight to ten weeks, shaking it every day to agitate the ingredients.

Damsons are usually sweeter than sloes, so you may want to add a little less sugar than we have specified here. You can taste it after four weeks and, if not sweet enough, add more sugar if necessary.

If the damsons are fairly ripe, the waiting time could be shorter than 10 weeks, and the results may be drinkable within six to eight weeks.
