Everywhere you look, brambles are groaning with dark, succulent fruit. Here are some surefire ways to make the most of them
I’ve been making blackberry vodka for the past few years and found that you need a mix of small and large brambles to get a gorgeous blend of flavours. Fill an empty bottle with 300g sugar and as many blackberries as you can, top up with vodka and shake gently until the sugar is dissolved. Don’t bother with caster sugar, just shake the bottle for longer. Then leave for three to six months, agitating every now and again. When it’s ready, the vodka will have a vibrant purple hue.
