Sloe Gin 35cl. Award wining Sloe Gin | Elderflower Liqueur 35cl. Made in small batches with hand picked elderflowers, this unique country liqueur captures the flower aroma and retains a fresh springtime taste. | Edwards Miniature Selection Edward is one of the founding partners of the business and developed some of the flavours in our range. | ||
Quince Liqueur 35cl. The fruit used in our Quince Liqueur is the Cydonia Oblonga or European Quince and not the chaenomeles or Japonica, which although making excellent jelly makes rather too acid a liqueur. The large, yellow and fragrant fruit is a relative of the pear. The variety we like to use is 'Vranga' but it is not always available and we have to pick our quinces where we can find them. | Strawberry Liqueur 35cl. The Strawberry Liqueur is rather sweeter than the other fruit liqueurs, because strawberries are naturally a sweeter fruit. It is splendid poured over pancakes, or over the sponge in a trifle, and if you take a galia melon, cut it in half, and fill the middles with strawberry liqueur and perhaps a little sugar, with a garnish of rose petals or mint leaves, you have a very impressive pud for very little effort! | Dittisham Plum Liqueur 35cl. This liqueur is made from the very special fruit known as the Dittisham Plum. It is a species plum and is grown in the sheltered Dart valley village, which gives it its name. On one point the many legends surrounding the arrival of these plums agree. They arrived by sea. The ship's captain dumped his cargo as he had been unable to sell it and the thrifty villagers took the plums in and gave them a good home. The orchards became famous in their day and people made special expeditions from as far away as Plymouth and Exeter (a long way by horse and cart!), to get their annual supply. The season is very short, rarely lasting more than 10 days. | ||
