Blackberry Vodka

The allotment/field is still yielding plenty of blackberries and there's only so many pies you can eat so I decided to try making something to give as gifts this coming Christmas.

Ingredients
1 bottle of cheap vodka
100g caster sugar
Lots of blackberries

* pour out around a quarter of the vodka and save to drink later
* tip the sugar into the bottle and shake to mix
* add blackberries to the bottle until full
* shake well and store for a few months, shaking occasionally

In December I plan to filter out the blackberries and decant into nice bottles. I might add a bit more sugar if it doesn't seem sweet enough. It's a bit experimental!
