About me

Location	Belgium
Introduction	Le Prunellier is an idea that came out of my love of seasons, of old recipes, of years of making sloe gin for those cold winter evenings. It will be a business that is simple and seasonal, producing wonderful fruit alcohols and cordials from locally gathered fruit in the time-fashioned way, without shortcuts or additives. In the Autumn I will scour the hedgerows for the sweetest blackberries (blackberry vodka); after the first frost, I will pick the softening sloes from the Hawthorn (for Sloe Gin); in the Spring I will fill baskets with the white blooms of the Elderflowers (Elderflower cordial), and in the summer, I will pluck the juicy raspberries from the cane to seep in vodka for a wonderfully fresh aperitif that tastes of the summer. This blog will follow the development of Le Prunellier along its journey with the seasonal changes of a want-to-be small holding to which it is inextricably linked.
