Tip: Homemade Creme de mure

Approx. 5 cups blackberries

1 bottle red wine, like a red blend

1.5 cup sugar

1 cup vodka

Add blackberries to a large container and mash to create a blackberry liquid (you can also blend)

Then add bottle of red wine, and let sit for about 6 hours or a full 24 hrs if you’ve got time covered in a cool dark place.

After, strain and pour that liquid in a saucepan with the sugar.

Put on low heat, don’t boil until the sugar dissolves.

Once dissolved, let cool completely.

Once cooled at to a air tight jar and add in vodka.
