just made mi sloe gin and sloe brandy

roll on christmas

 

No shortage of sloes here, but can't afford the gin. Life's a bitch. nt

 

7 quid a bottle, you know it makes sence

 

What do you do to make it sloe? And what happens? Heard it before but not much of a spirit drinker.

 

ok 1 bottle of Gin, 1lb caster sugar, 1lb of sloes

stick em all in a large bottle, shake every day for a week then leave for 3 month, NECTAR

 

What are sloes? nt

RE: fruit of the blackthorn bush, here

But what does it do to it? Or does it just make a nice tasting drink?

RE: fruit of the blackthorn bush, here

I am intrigued now. Think I might get a bottle of Brandy and give it a go. Cheers.

 

Out of football

Got our sloe gin on the way too

Using last year's sloes from the freezer. Despite the mess made by an exploding bottle of the stuff last year.

Opinion seems divided on the matter, but Mrs Burgundy Red and I hold with the view that you should wait until the sloes have been through a frost, or at least stick them in the freezer for a bit before using them. We leave here too early so it's the freezer option for us.

Mrs B R also recommends raspberry gin, although I'm sure that anything that ends with the word "gin" would be OK with her.

That gives me an idea . . .
