European Gardening: Sloe Gin, 1 by Southmede

Yesterday I went out to find some more sloes and I managed to find 300g I think that everyone else has been out picking too, these are certainly ripe and should make about 1 litre. I was given a small bottle of damson gin by my boss at work and it was delicious. He makes it so that when he goes fishing he can keep having a wee nip to keep the cold out.

The first batch of sloe gin is doing ok, going a lovely red colour. Roll on Christmas. I was reading that you can make many liqueurs this way, the blackcurrent rum looks very tempting. mmmmmmmm
