Drink, be merry

THE KITCHEN garden is full of vegetables begging to be eaten. We’re surrounded by divine summer fruit: raspberries, strawberries, boysenberries, loganberries, red currants, white currants and the last of the gorgeous ripe gooseberries.

Drink, be merry

Its so frustrating that there aren’t enough mealtimes in which to eat all the midsummer’s bounty. We’re desperate to trap the flavours and preserve as much as we possibly can.

Of course, we are making jams, tarts and preserves but we’re also having lots of fun making ratafias, liqueurs and fruit cordials.
