Drink
I have this philosophy of only making a brew out of free or very cheap ingredients, so I was overjoyed that my local Tesco's was shifting kilos and kilos of past-sell-by-date strawberries for £0.05 per 500g. Woooppppeee a chance to make some strawberry wine! There is no strawberry shortage in the tower of capitalist consumption, only local shoppers in the mood for stew and dumplings rather than summer puddings. Back to C J Berry and his magic advice.
Recipe.
