Total Time: 1440 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1440 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 lb blackberry, washed
• 8 ounces superfine sugar
• 1 liter brandy (35 fl.oz.)

Recipe

• 1 divide the blackberries between 3 sterilised 500ml ‘kilner’ jars (or alternatively use other sterilised jars/containers that you can seal tightly, or place blackberries into one very large container).
• 2 pour in the sugar, dividing it equally between the jars; divide and pour in the brandy.
• 3 seal the jars tightly and shake them well.
• 4 store in a cool, dark cupboard and shake every other day for a week, then shake once a week for two months; the brandy be then be ready to drink, but will keep improving if you can manage to leave it for longer!
• 5 when the brandy has steeped for at least two months, strain it off into a 1 litre bottle (you can reserve the fruit for a very boozy dessert; a few berries are great served with vanilla ice cream); it is now ready to serve.
