ELDERBERRY GIN
Elderberry Gin is one of the joys you can make at home after foraging. the berries need plucking from the stems before steeping in gin for a month. It's well worth the effort and patience!

Steps:
- Thoroughly clean the berries under running water. Drain.
- Using a fork, pick the berries of the tiny branches. Be careful not to have stems still attached to the berries. Only keep the ripe berries, i.e. discard the green and damaged ones.
- Give the berries a good rinse to remove any debris, then tip them into a 1.5ℓ (6 cups) jar, along with the lemon peel.
- Pour in the gin, close the lid and seal.
- The jar will now have to be stored for at least a month in a cool, dark place. Every few days, you'll need to turn.
- Using a fine sieve, strain the gin. After you strain it, you can keep the berries and use them in dessert or in a savoury sauce to be served with venison.
- Place the sugar and pour 125ml (½ cup) of water in a small saucepan over a low heat.
- Stir frequently until all the sugar has dissolved and a sugar syrup has formed. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- How sweet you want the elderberry gin to be is up to you. Pour a little of the sugar syrup in at a time and taste until desired sweetness is achieved. Enjoy!
