1 1/2 lbs of gin soaked blackberries

Can you freeze them to pop into your gin instead of ice cubes?

purée and sieve, sauce for desserts, ice cream?

Add them to your porridge in the morning for breakfast!

Blackberry gin jam. I once made slow gin apple jam. It was amazing. Add a 2nd fruit to make sure you dilute the gin content!

I'd make a sorbet.

Sloe!

Sorbet sounds gorgeous too.

Yes sloes were in short supply this year and so small.

Add apple and make Blackberry and apple crumble/ sponge pudding

Yes, I would eat them in my porridge also.

Boasting here, but I have done 3 bottles of sloe vodka, and still have enough sloes in freezer to make another batch soon.

Ours were not small at all.

My first post here. Melt dark/milk chocolate, mix the blackberries in and then put spoonfuls in small sweet cases and leave to set.

Delicious ‘boozy’ chocolates!

Merry Christmas

Welcome Blondi

Sounds yummy!

So many really lovely suggestions, I had better start another batch of gin to get enough blackberries!

My mind is moving to Blondi's suggestion. Blackberry gin chocolate would make a marvellous unexpected present for someone (but leaving plenty for me) and also using the blackberries with apple in a crumble

Now I want gin-soaked blackberry chocolates and ice cream!!! I'm thinking of asking for this thread to be deleted on the grounds it's just too much temptation!!

.....and ice cream, Oh, Trisher, I am beginning to think about tomorrow's afters at lunch time!

What a treat! If they would freeze, you could use some of them in a ginger and blackberry trifle for Christmas. Or fill sweet pancakes with them and serve with cream or ice cream. Yum.
