I'm glad your jam turned out well - I've never tried to make jam in a slow cooker before but it sounds like a very good idea! I'm planning on making the gin this weekend (if it ever stops raining here so I can go blackberrying) and will post the recipe on my blog early next week. I'm not trying to build up suspense or anything - I just need to dig the recipe out! If you're keen to get started though, I basically just used a recipe for sloe gin (loads available online if you google) and substituted the sloes with blackberries. It's best to leave to mature for at least a year so I usually make it every year to make sure I have some for each Christmas - missed doing it last year though as my baby was very small so I will be blackberry ginless this Christmas :( Luckily I have some 2-year old sloe gin to see me through though! Looking forward to seeing your cascade scarf too. Thanks very much – and thank you for the nice write up on your blog.

I've put the piccies on my blog. Your blackberry gin sounds interesting... are there any instructions you could share (i.e. what ratios do you of fruit and alcohol) Best wishes Thank for this recipe, I made it yesterday and it is delicious!
