  • Sloe gin

    recipe of sloe gin ingredients
    450g / slooes.
    225g/ sugar.
    1lt / gin.
    I make sloe gin most years and just mix a few sloes with sugar and gin. I've just made a new batch and I've made a note of exactly how I did it.
    Here's how. Prick each sloe with a fork, I tried without doing this one year and the flavour doesn't come out as well.
    Put the sloes into a large sterilised jar.
    Pour in the sugar and the gin, seal tightly and shake well.
    Store in a cool, dark cupboard and shake every other day for a week. Then shake once a week for at least two months.
    Strain the sloe gin through muslin into a sterilised bottle.

    Leave until Xmas...Hooray!

    I made some sloe gin earlier this month to a recipe very similar to that. Lovely colour on it, will strain it off early December probably. I would have made sloe wine but stoning the sloes is something I couldn't be bothered with.
