    I made damson gin in 2023 and kind of forgot about it. I strained out the fruit after several months, but it sat in the jars until today.

    Final strain today and bottled. 2.7 litres! It's really good ; perhaps a little sweet? I tried two different gins: a good mid-level ALDI gin and a very cheap Tesco gin. The better gin is worth it.

    The jars will be straight back into service as we have more damsons and also trying sloe this year.

    I was wondering if UK #damsons or plums could be used to make Japanese style #umeboshi, seems twitter.com/StevieParle/status asked this back in 2013, and replied later in 2017 saying damsons worked:

    "Think I did standard but washed with gin instead of sake and layered with nettles instead of shiso. Works well."

    Something to try if our tree gives fruit...
