luvbus Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I have bottled up last years sloe/damson gin & brandy to free up a couple of demi johns for some ginger beer but it has left me with a few pounds of alcohol steeped fruit that I feel I should be able to do something with. Any ideas? Cheers, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvbus Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Take the stones out and bake them into a frangipane tart. Not sure the fruit is robust enough after their long soak to be sliced so finely, also there is not that much fruit left after you take out the stone anyway! Sounds good though, I'll have to set the Missus on to make a pear one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I heard one of the lads off the forum threw them in the bin and his Labrador got to them. Utterly smashed, was uttered at least once in the long description of how hammered the dog was...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
