Bottom jars have mostly raspberries and a handful of cranberries in vodka. The raspberries are last years and have been frozen a while so they are breaking up a bit now.

Shame to waste em though

ah yes i can see it now, i thought raspberries but through the glass they looked too smooth, but if they are breaking up that explains it.

cheers for clearing that up for me :)

Well that's the first week of shaking done now, it's taken on a great colour so far and I'm sure it's thickening up a touch.

Is it better to stick to the schedule above or can I give it more shakes when I feel the urge ?

Up to you, I never bothered. Why not try just one bottle and see the end results, you'll know for next time then :)

Stick a glass in mate and try it!

I often just dip a little with a spoon. When I am happy with the flavour I strain (I use a jelly bag into a bowl), filter (two layers of muslin in a seive, put the seive into a big funnel and pour from the bowl into a final bottle.

Just sorted the cranberry and raspberry vodka - mmmm
