There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

  1. Pour deux bouteilles. Faire chauffer le vin à feu doux. A ébullition, l'arrêter et verser sur les fraises entières. Couvrir d'un torchon et laisser reposer 48 heures. Filtrer le jus à l'aide d'un torchon, pour cela, verser le tout sur un torchon au dessus d'un saladier, puis presser le torchon de façon à sortir le jus des fraises. Mettre à chauffer le jus et quand il arrive à ébullition, verser le sucre dedans et éteindre le feu puis remuer pour dissoudre le sucre. Ensuite, porter à ébullition l'eau de vie (de façon à lui enlever son goût, si possible prendre de l'eau de vie jeune) pendant 30 secondes. Verser l'eau de vie dans le mélange jus-sucre et remuer de temps en temps pour refroidir. Mettre en bouteilles.
