What to make with damsons that isn't jam?

[CuttedUpPear]

Neighbour just brought round a big box of damsons.
I'm not sure what to make with them - I don't like damson jam and I'm trying to cut down on puddings for me and DS as he is putting on weight.

I guess I should pass them on!

Booze?

Damson gin!!!!! It's delicious!!

Spiced damson chutney. Easy to make and so much better than the bought stuff. There is a good recipe in Delia's Complete Cookery Course.

We make wine, gin, clafoutis, jam, jellies, and eat them nice and fresh. If I had more than I knew what to do with I'd stone and then just pack them into large glass jars, add some sugar and get some cheap gin or brandy and pour them over - they will keep in the alcohol and be able to be eaten over then next few years as and when you need them.

My FIL makes delicious damson ice cream....?

The chutney sounds like a good idea.
And the gin....

Gin! And once you've drunk the gin, the boozy fruit is lovely with ice cream!

I made that chutney last weekend and it is lush! Well it will be I am sure.... I added a lot of chilli to the recipe though because I wanted it hot.

Damson and pear crumble

We've made jam and gin - did the same last year and the gin is fabulous. I got the cheap gin from aldi and it does the job nicely.
