Giffard Creme De Mure Liqueur 70 cl

Product Information

Sterilizing your storage bottle before putting the creme de mure inside will prolong the life significantly, even indefinitely if stored in a cool dark place! The best way to know if the liqueur is still good is to taste it, and watch out for any color changes. If you notice either of these changes, toss it. We highly doubt this stuff will last long enough for it to go bad. It's seriously delicious, and you will keep finding ways to use it! Pour the Creme De Mure into a tumbler and fill with crushed ice. Pour the gin mixture over the top of the ice.

To answer your questions – I’m not sure on the exact alcohol content of the final product, it’s hard to say how much of the alcohol actually evaporate when it is simmering, as you are simmering for only a short amount of time it should not lose that much alcohol. The alcohol content is probably around the 15% abv mark – but this is just an estimate It absolutely can be canned to keep for much longer and I would follow your normal canning rules for that – I’m afraid I don’t have the knowledge to advise properly thoughCover with a clean towel and leave to macerate for 48 hours in a cool place* - give the berries a little mash every now and then if you remember!

Hi Jan, yes it’s definitely very sweet – not something I can personally drink much of by itself. Would love to hear how using less sugar works out for you though I’m only going to simmer a small amount of the wine berry mixture with my sugar, Might throw in a vanilla bean or a squeeze of lime or both.

About the authors

This is very easy to make and not what I would consider time consuming but there is a time element involved. After the berries are blended, they have to be passed through a strainer and also through muslin to get rid of both the seeds and any solids. Strain through a wire mesh sieve to remove the berries, then strain again through cheese cloth to ensure all seeds etc are out. I don’t actually can mine as I don’t have the equipment or knowledge to do so. I sterilise the bottles so it keeps for a long time unopened, it then lasts a couple of months in the fridge after opening. A gentle simmer won’t remove all the alcohol, it will in fact remove very little – you’d have to boil it at a high heat for quite a while to remove all the alcohol. It’s not possible to add wine in two parts as all the wine needs to macerate with the berries.
