Also in my new Nigella Lawson baking book I cam across this intruiging recipe calld Rhubarb Schnapps, Recipe is below:
Approx. 1Kg of rhubarb, to
make 600g trimmed weight
300g Caster sugar
1 litre vodka, plus more if needed
1x 2 itre jar
1x 1 litre bottle
Chop the rhubarb & divide between the 2 jars. Add 150grams sugar to each jar, put the lids on and shake well. Unclip the lids and pour 500ml of vodka - and I use the chepest i can find - into each and fill. if that doesn’t fill them, then fill with more.But it should though,the rhubarb takes up a lot of room in the jar.
Close the lids, put the rhubarb somewhere cool and darkfort at least 6 wks up to 6 months.if you remember, shake the jars everyday or every other day for the first month so.
Strain into a jug, then pour into a bottle.there’s your rhubarb schnapps. makes 1 Litre.
Happy Making
