What’s for dinner? Cooking Thread!

[Chiro1989]

Not for dinner, experimenting, soak berries in booze for 6 weeks, strain off berries, add simple sugar, 1st batch with honey berries on the left, 5 more jars with Raspberries going, started a big jar with raspberries today, so far so good, Science!

Finished up with the Concord grapes, this stuff comes out pretty good with raspberries, honey berries, or the grapes. Very easy to make, use the Quart jars filled to the neck with fruit, pour in the alcoholic beverage, let it sit for 6 weeks in a cool dark place with the lid on of course, no fermentation occurred that I can tell, for each 2 cups of liquid from the jar, add 1/2 cup simple syrup, the 1 qt jars pretty much make 2 cups of liquid, easy peasy. I strained it as shown in the above picture and crushed the fruit in the strainer with the ladle. We have not tried making a martini or a mixed drink with it yet, kids found it really enhances a hard cider or a mikes hard lemonade, we have been pretty much been doing that.

How did the fruit turn out?

Edible, going to try it in a version of English Trifle

Dinner/lunch/snack.

Too crowded in the smoker, so I smoked for two hours and finished in the oven. Waaaaaaaaay too salty, but otherwise perfect.
