[Cassis]

To celebrate my 5,000th post, here is my favourite recipe:

Crême de Cassis or Crême de Mures

1 kilo blackcurrants or

blackberries

2 litres decent red wine

Sugar

Method

1. Wash fruit a crush in a blender
2. Add red wine and leave it to macerate in a
   covered container for 48 hours in a cool place.
3. Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth.
4. Weigh the juice and add an equal weight of sugar.
5. Bring the mixture to the boil in a pan and leave
   to boil for 5 minutes.
6. Allow to cool to about 40 degrees (tepid) then
   strain again (if necessary) and bottle.

Ready to drink after a couple

of weeks, keeps indefinitely.

Hmmmm.  I don't think so.  But not beyond the realms of possibility, given that Jude is currently having a lie down and I've got the 'puter to myself for a couple of hours. [Www]

I'll have to step up my reply rate, then.

I might have more luck with that.  My old 3-D animation programme won't install on this machine for some reason.  Possibly the disc's knackered.
