Homemade plum gin

I had a bumper crop of plums from my tree this year so decided to make some plum gin as well, as the usual jam. After brewing for 3 weeks, it turned a lovely pink colour. The taste is slightly sharp and not too sweet,which is just what I was aiming for! mixed with tonic and ice, this is a delicious GnT šŸ˜‹

Today is Stir Up Sunday. The last Sunday before Advent.  I made my xmas puddings today, after soaking the fruit is brandy overnight. They are now steaming away in the slow cooker for several hours. This process makes them very moist and full of flavour. Stir-up Sunday dates back to Victorian times, when cooks prepared the Christmas pudding by stirring the mixture and adding silver coins as good luck token!
