Sloe GIN

Sloely walk is better, then just a walk ;D.

 We enjoyed picking sloe berries, on a nice sunny day.

 

The Sloe trees are a bit prickly, so should have brought my gloves....to protect my hands....

Two kg of sloe berry's was more then I expected, but with my helper, it was quick and easy.

Actually , these were the biggest sloes I have found in years. Lovely finding. We were very pleased to find those.

At home, I washed sloes and removed leaves. Put sloes into a jar and covered them with sugar.
1kg of sloes
1kg of sugar
1 litter of Gin
I had to make mine in 2 jars, as I didn't have one jar big enough. So I just split it. Every 3 days I shake a jar a bit, so flavours of the sloe are realised and that sugar works magic in there. ;D
Sloes are still in season. Am encouraging you to go for that lovely autumn walk and get yourself some berries.

Sloe Gin at Christmas time. It will be a treat. Home made is always best !!
Can't wait to get 4flavours drunk on my special Gin :D ha ha
Cinnamon mentioned a Thanksgiving dinner is coming up...
Hope to see you girls soon for a cuppa before we meet at the Cinnamon's table for Thanksgiving.
