Categories     Food and Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

Sharp scissors
Jars with lever seals 500ml or 1ltr (17 or 34fl oz), e.g. Kilner or Weck (it’s crucial that the jars are airtight when closed)
Funnel
Muslin, 1m (3ft) squared
Hawthorn berries, enough to fill your jar(s)
Gin, enough to fill your jar(s)
White or golden granulated or caster sugar 400g (14oz), about 400g (14oz) for a 1ltr (34fl oz) jar and 200g (9oz) for a 500ml (17fl oz) jar

Steps:

  • Collect enough haw berries to fill your jar. Wash them and, with a pair of sharp scissors, remove any stalks and dried flowers from the end of each berry. Haws are quite small and can take some time to top and tail, so pop a film or box set on or listen to the radio as you work.
  • You can now sterilise the jar. If it has a rubber seal, remove it. Set your oven to 140°C/275°F/gas mark 1, wash your jar in hot soapy water, place it upside down on a baking tray and put it in the oven for around 10 minutes, before removing it to cool. Don’t touch the inside of the jar before you make your gin. Boil the rubber seal for 10 minutes in a saucepan of water.
  • Put a handful of haws into the jar about 3cm deep, then pour in a quarter of the sugar. Add another layer of haws, top with sugar and repeat this process until you have filled the jar. Pour in the gin, seal the jar, then upend carefully a couple of times in case air has become trapped between the berries. Top up with more gin
  • Place your gin on a kitchen shelf out of direct sunlight or in a cupboard for 4–6 weeks. After this time, the colour from the berries will have seeped into the gin staining it a beautiful auburn colour.
  • You can let the haws infuse further but sediment will begin to form at this stage as the berries break down. To avoid this, pour the gin though a muslin-lined funnel into another sterilised, sealable jar. Reseal the jar and discard the haws. You can now enjoy your gin.

HOMEMADE HAWTHORN JELLY - PRACTICAL SELF RELIANCE



Homemade Hawthorn Jelly - Practical Self Reliance image

Hawthorn jelly is a tasty way to take your medicine and easy to make at home.  All you need is hawthorn berries, sugar and lemon juice.  No added pectin required.

Provided by Ashley Adamant

Number Of Ingredients 4

1.5 to 2 lbs hawthorn berries
2-3 cups water
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Simmer the Hawthorns in water for roughly 30 minutes until they've completely disintegrated.  Mash them with a potato masher to help the process.
  • Strain the mixture through a jelly bag or cheesecloth and measure the juice.  For every 2 cups of juice, add 2 cups of sugar and 1/4 cup of lemon juice.  It takes roughly 1.5 to 2 pounds of haws to yield 2 cups of juice.
  • Return the strained hawthorn juice, sugar and lemon juice to the stove and boil rapidly for 10-15 minutes until it reaches gel stage.
  • Pour the jelly into prepared canning jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace.  Process in a water bath canner for 5 minutes, or store in the refrigerator for immediate use.
