Instructions

  1. Wash the gooseberries and dry them with a kitchen towel. Halve and place them in a large jar. Add the sugar and the gin. Stir gently.
  2. Place in a dark cool place like a cupboard. Stir every day during the first week or until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Let steep for at least 3-4 weeks, longer if desired. Strain through a fine cloth and pour it into a bottle.

Notes

  • I am not giving you the amount in cups as gooseberries can vary very much in size, some are really small, some are huge.
  • If using green gooseberry, you will need to add more sugar, as they are tarter.
  • A basic sort of gin, nothing expensive.
