Cranberry Vodka - Can I Use Berries In A Cake

[dinki]

I have made some home made cranberry vodka, it seems a shame to waste the berries when I drain them, any idea if they can be used in a cake. If so can anyone supply a relevant recipe.

Many thanks in advance

If it was me I would cook them with sugar and orange juice to make a wonderful sauce, make a plain sponge and serve the sponge hot with icecream and the sauce poured over it.

Don't see why not. Mary Berry's Christmas cake recipe has fruit that's been soaked in sherry and brandy for three days. Make sure they're not too wet when you add them to the mix. Maybe dusting with flour would help stop them sinking?

I would make them into boozy jam by boiling up with an equal amount of sugar.

Freeze them & use for cranberry sauce next Christmas?

Have you seen the hairy bikers christmas vodka
Now I'm no cook but I would have thought the fruit used in that could be used in a christmas cake

I've make some several types of vodka,after the fruit has drained Trish serves it up with cream/ice cream.We never waste the fruit,especially when it's been soaked in alcohol.
