This time of year gardeners may be overwhelmed with the fruits of their labor. Ever since I read that it was possible to grow blueberries in Colorado, I’ve had fruit plants on my mind too.
Normally when the garden yields too many fruits, I think of making jam or pies with the berries. I might just plan to freeze the remainder whole – saving them for the winter, when prices for berries at the grocery store are sky high! But I had a brainstorm this week – why not use them to make a green summer cocktail? Either muddle your berries or cook them into a sweet syrup, then add your favorite liquor and you are ready to enjoy the weekend!
