Whitley Neill Gooseberry Gin | Inspired by rural England

Place in a dark cool place like a cupboard. Stir every day during the first week or until the sugar dissolves. When I first tasted Gilbert’s grog we just had one green gooseberry bush in the garden. A nameless variety that I’d swapped with an old gardener in the village for a few jars of chutney.

And best of all – all it requires is a bit of sugar, some gin, your chosen fruit and time for everything to infuse together.

Lila Wiese on Perennial vegetables: Tree cabbage Maybe I missed someone stating this but is it possible to obtain seeds for this in the US? These berries are less green and will have turned a deeper golden, or even pale red, colour. Do I have to use sugar in my homemade gooseberry gin?
