Cranberry Gin

Ingredients:
- 25g Cranberries
- 50g caster sugar
- 300ml Gin
Method:
- Use a 400ml bottle, sterilise it in boiling water and then in the oven, set to 100C.
- Put the cranberries in, then pour in the sugar and then top up with the gin.
- Put a stopper on and leave for 3 months to allow the gin to take on the flavour and colour of the cranberries.
- During the first 2 weeks, shake the bottle gently, once every few days, to encourage the sugar to dissolve.
Tips:
- Try using other spirits like vodka and brandy.
- Try using different fruits such as sloes, damsons, blackcurrants and quince. Quince needs 1 year to infuse before drinking – the other fruits need 3 months as a minimum, although the longer they are left the better they taste.
