oakey 57 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 going to have a go this year on a turbo sloe gin saw on here or you tube . Where you sort of make a jam out of the sloes first then add gin (anyone)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeD 24 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Its really easy matey. Small cup of sugar, heaped small cup of sloes and a standard 70cl bottle of supermarket own brand gin. Put them all together In an air tight jar, and leave in the cupboard for at least 2 months, giving it a shake once in a while. I normally open, strain it through some clean muslin, and re-bottle around xmas time. You then drink! Tastes ruddy lovely Don,t forget to prick the sloes,I freeze mine overnight,or pick after first frost,works just as well with damson's,prick each one down the side with a fork, You are spot on matey, I forgot to say, I freeze my sloes and then defrost them before using too I always seem to have better luck when they are still frozen.
