Our blackberry brandy recipe For every 70cl bottle of brandy you’ll need about 320g of blackberries and 160g of sugar. I’m happy to use the cheapest booze I can find – the brandy I bought yesterday was so cheap it came in a plastic bottle.
Put all ingredients into clean, sterilised jars with tight fitting lids and shake. Continue to agitate every day or two for a few weeks before reducing the shake frequency to weekly until you’re ready to strain and bottle. Ideally this would be after three months but it will taste perfectly acceptable a few weeks earlier. As with all fruit liqueurs, the bottled drink will continue to improve with age.
Sounds good anyway! I scaled it up for a litre.
And yep, quite a few blackberries already out. Looks like it might be a bumper long season round me. Not sure what else I can do with them. crumble perhaps.

This is very simple and great with blackberries instead of raspberries:
Bought some green ginger wine going cheap in Aldi's today and infused it with some whisky I found in the cupboard. Very nice, and instant, winter warmer.

It sounds lovely.

I ate one of the berries and it nearly killed me. Blew my head off. Think I'll keep them.
