jonevo Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Its easy to make heres how Sloe Gin Recipe Pick your sloes from blackthorn hedges in October or November when they are most ripe - probably after the first frosts. Take a litre bottle of gin, and drink half a litre Cut or ***** the sloes and drop into the half-empty bottle so that they displace the remaining gin to near the top. Add one wine goblet of sugar (approx 150g). All you have to do now is turn or agitate the bottle daily for a week, then weekly for a month or two ... by which time it will be ready to drink (but it is really best kept until the next winter). This bottle is four months old. The 1.7L cider flagon was half-filled with sloes (approx 700g), plus two wine goblets of sugar (approx 300g) - then topped-up with about a litre of gin. Decant the liquor off between 3-6 months, then either drink or store until next winter. Go on have a go its easy................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
