Ingredients Green Grocer 1Kg Strawberries Thyme 1Tablespoon Lemon Juice Dry Store 300ml Jack Daniels 100g Sugar Equipment Food Processor Method

• Crush the strawberries a little with the sugar, lemon juice and the thyme. They don't have to be pulped here, just enough to get some bruising happening. I think this is what the pros call 'muddled'.
• Leave them sit for about an hour at room temperature.
• Put the strawberries in a shallow baking dish and into the freezer.
• Once they are properly frozen, feed them a little at a time into the food processor, adding the JD as you do each batch.
• Put the resulting mix back in the freezer. The alcohol should stop it from freezing but I like to check it every couple of hours and give it a stir to make sure.

Notes Serve in whisky glasses with a teaspoon. Serve a blob in a wine glass with just enough wine to cover it (Actually, I had sangria handy so make that wine and lemonade or it could get a little dangerous). The amount of sugar depends heavily on the sweetness of the fruit. Mine were quite sweet, so if yours aren't then add more sugar but remember that the alcohol is quite sweet.
