I dont like drink too sweet either,how much sugar are you talking per lb?
1/4 to 1/2 lb of caster sugar per lb of sloes depending on taste. I personally use just in between. I always put in the cinnamon stick. I,ve been here in this village 21 years & this is the best year for big sloes I,ve ever seen. Best of luck Coca mate and do try it as a marinade. Did some sloes in poteen once but I prefer that without the sloes!!!
Well Allenyeates,i went with your recipie !
I just had a wee taste.
