Method

Each time you pick, add a layer of fresh wild strawberries and a spoonful of sugar to a large glass jar.
Pour in the spirit so the fruit is covered; top up all summer with new fruit and sugar.
After the last fruit, leave to steep for another 4 weeks in a dark place, shaking now and then.
Strain through a coffee filter and pour into a clean bottle.

Storing: A year in a cool, dark place. The liqueur is a lovely red and smells of summer.
