Couperwife Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I love the colour of the rhubarb the colour of summer the plum gin/vodka was: 3/4's fill a kilner jar with plums top up with gin / vodka Leave until you are brave enough to try it you may need to sweeten it up with sugar (dont know - not brave enough to try it yet ) enjoy (but dont blame me of you have temporarily lose vision or use of limbs ) cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisnrob Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Only problemis I've frozen all my rhubarb. We put our rhubarb in the freezer *after* it had been in the vodka for six weeks with the idea of making a slightly boozy crumble at a later date . It's still not frozen despite being in the freezer for several weeks! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still not frozen despite being in the freezer for several weeks! Rob ditto! Must be the alcohol acting as anti freeze. Do you think it will still be okay to use at a later date, from the freezer, or will we end up poisoning ourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I normally keep vodka in the freezer, it makes it thick and gloopy im sure that the rhubarb will be fine (oh, no - I sound like a mad alcoholic tonight ) oh well cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it will still be okay to use at a later date, from the freezer, or will we end up poisoning ourselves? I imagine that the combination of alcohol and freezing temperatures will have preserved it more than adequately! I think I will mix it with apple and make and apple and rhubarb crumble; I don't think I dare make one with just that rhubarb in!

KateP Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'm going to give this a go myself. I've never made anything like this before so have just ordered some preserve jars and bottles online. My father in law also has tons of rhubarb so will be able to get that from him. I might also have a go at the plum gin/vodka. Will let you know how I get on!
