Quince Vodka


I'm the middle one of the three Farrow Sisters - and my real passion apart from crafting is also growing and making things which are either for eating or drinking.   I was lucky enough to be given some quinces a couple of weeks ago and decided to have another go at making some quince vodka - went down very well last year with a splash of tonic, especially on a cold winters evening when relaxing by the fire.  The rest of the quinces will be used to make spiced quinces which are also another Christmas favourite - an excellent accompaniment with hot or cold ham, pork and strong cheese.




RECIPE for Quince Vodka
Ingredients:
1 large quince, washed and grated
650ml vodka
200gms vanilla caster sugar or ordinary sugar is okay (I add a vanilla pod to my sugar jar to get the flavour)
Jar with lid large enough to hold all the ingredients. 

Method:
Place the grated quince into the jar along with the sugar and vodka.  Put the lid on and shake daily until Christmas - it does improve if you can manage to keep it longer !!
