The making of sloe gin

 

  

In October we went to a special place where we knew big fat healthy sloes were growing.

We carefully gathered just enough to bag up and put into our freezer, to be later fermented for 12 weeks in large bottles with sugar and gin.

And the result is fabulous sloe gin, dark, red and alcoholic, good enough to warm the cockles of your heart on a cold winter’s night.
