Brandy and blackberries
« on: September 26, 2018, 07:56:24 PM »
Ok, so I've just strained the infamous Rhi's spiced Blackberry Brandy, and have a huge bowl full of alcohol soaked fruit that I don't know what to do with. It's held its shaped but is rather bleached. Kids don't like the taste so no point making crumble with it.

Any ideas?

My permanent question: do you have a hygrometer and what's the ABV?

Meets my definition. Will it freeze?

Depends on the alcohol content. Average shop-bought wine of 13% or so, at about -3°C. Spirits, far lower.

I'd say you're on the cusp of invented ice-lollies for adults: I be happy to volunteer for the tasting panel!

I think it'd be more of an alcoholic fruit slush...

Fruit slush sounds divine! I love anything 'slush'.I would add more fruit so it doesn't taste quite as 'brandyish' - eat and serve. Could put other berries in it. Yum.

Mmm Marge, Blackberry and apple slush and donuts!  Is there nothing it can't cure?

Hot, fresh doughnuts of course. With cinnamon sugar.
