I've been tasting fruit this past week from the roof dehydrator. It all came out nicely, very tart, chewy, serious plums, tomatoes and nectarines. And it then stuck me, why not go a step further? It must have been the limoncello recipe I was working on the other day. Why not toss everything into grain alcohol? I got a few little jars, you can see here in the center. Then I got carried away. The last meyer lemon on the tree with bay leaves and dried kumquats. Some shallots, ginger and lemon. Whole fresh tomatoes. Who knows? Some jars with spices like grains of paradise, cassia buds and long pepper. Went through 2 bottles. I have no idea which will be more interesting either, the fruit or the hooch.
I've been using grain alcohol a lot... for ferns and ambergris... interesting progress. let me know how yours works?!>!>
ReplyDeleteAh! Ambergris in the alcohol? Can you just throw it in, or does it sit there like a lump of wax?
ReplyDeleteGrate it on a microplane... after about 2 months it is ready and can be used ... gets stronger as you wait up to about 6 months. I used very little in a little caviar jar with the alcohol.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the fern was especially cool for the first few weeks since it was a violent green... spectacular. Now it is a nice brown/green... the scent is interesting... need to find out if I can use it or if it will make me sick... cool added to perfume though!!

ReplyDeleteWhat can we do when we have much free time? How about to play the online games? When we talk about the online game, we have to talk about the WOW Gold? Because the WOW is the world's most famous online game, every one knows that we have to get the Cheap WOW Gold to save money !
the truth is that I like all alcoholic beverages, and so I decided to open my own business selling bulk grain alcohol
