That's the limoncello bottled! It's only made the same way as most of the other fruit schnapps we've done (http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/513100) but it sure tastes much stronger!

 

Just had 1/2 a shot glass and it feels like someone is pushing me down into the chair and I can't get up, I think it packs a heck of a punch but it's nice

 

Wonder why it feels more powerful than the other fruit schnapps we've done?

 

So far this year we've done; strawberry ratafia, simple strawberry wine, raspberry liqueur, rhubarb schnapps, limoncello and pear wine!

 

Anyone fancy a party!???

[Guest]

fine, I'll drink it all meself then *hic*

[Laura007]

pour me a glass, i will partake of a little snifter!

[Blackrocksrock]

I think that they look terrific and you are very clever to do all of your bottling, jams etc as well as the hic alcoholic ones. May try this one as looks quite easy to do.

I will join the party then! a big snifter for me

It's all thanks to the girls!

 

This time last year, we'd had the girls for about 5 weeks and we were still revelling in the fact that we had delicious fresh eggs on our own doorstep. Then Ian transformed part of the garden into a mini allotment and we began growing several types of fruit and veg. Then came my foray into getting intimately acquainted with the kitchen (when I was working full time all I did was the washing up as I had neither the time or the energy to do much more!).

 

I've gone from tentatively following simple recipes to just throwing things together and been amazed how well they've turned out! I've picked up loads of recipe ideas and tips from this forum.

 

I'm happier this year than I've ever been (apart from losing my dad) and it's all thanks to the girls as they've really changed my outlook on life.

 

Yes, it's all thanks to my chickens that I have a cupboard full of booze *hic*

 

Can I pour anyone another?

I think I might just be able to squirrel a bottle away for you Mrs

 

(Kate, I promise I haven't forgotten you by the way, it's just getting round to finding something to post it in, with it being fragile, but it will be done! )

I made limoncello last year. Still stored away but bottled - so it will be extreme rocket fuel.

I wondered why mine is clear yellow though, as yours looks more authentic.

You've reminded me about ours, so I'll have to sample it tonight.

Am I too late to join the party?!

 

Have just checked out the recipe & I could even just about (with a little poetic licence on the dates - sorry for the dreadful pun Poet!!!) get some ready for Christmas with the bottle of vodka I was contemplating using for yet more of Cinnamon's cranberry vodka.

 

Am just off to get some lemons

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

Cor that looks good!

[Guest]

bottoms up!

[missuscluck]

Mmmmmm. Thats looking good.

I think the Chickens + eggs = Alcohol equation could be a long one and take some working out. I shouldnt try it. You know you said you fancied a piece of cake over christmas perhaps you could bring a bottle

[Guest]

no problem! Wonder if I can bribe Ian to drive

[..lay a little egg for me]

Here I am at last [holds out glass for a tipple]! Sorry I'm late. Still, I've brought some well matured sloe gin to the party...its been in the cupboard for over 10 years and should be pretty good by now!

 

Did anyone bring any nibbles or we'll all be as drunk as lords!

[missuscluck]

Woohoo drinks and nibbles

 

no problem! Wonder if I can bribe Ian to drive

 

Everyone has a price

[..lay a little egg for me]

Nipped out to the shops and bought some of these for us all:

 

 

Help yourselves!

[Guest]

[..lay a little egg for me]

The party seemed to be pretty busy so I thought we needed plenty!
