I have planned to make Limoncello for Christmas for a couple of years and in typical me fashion, I remember then promptly forget until it is too late. Depending on which recipe you use, it needs to mature for between four and six weeks. This year, I am on it. I followed a recipe from The Good Food Channel as it seemed simple enough and used less water, meaning more vodka. Hic!
I also found a recipe for raspberry gin over on the imake blog. It also seemed straight forward and simple although I have missed the Christmas deadline. This little red beauty has to mature for 12 weeks which means it should be ready in time for Hogmanay. Double hic!
Here's hoping that it all tastes yummy and scrummy . I will let you know when I regain consciousness.
Oooh your gin looks lovely, I hope it tastes lovely too!

It is smelly really lemony. I hope it thickens up a wee bit, that would be amazing

We made imake's raspberry gin too. It's gone a beautiful colour. I'll have to float the idea of limoncello.
