Sloe gin’s one of my favourites too but I haven’t had it for years. My mum used to make loads of the stuff on our big old khctien table, then a couple of months later she’d start testing the bottles. It longer she left it, the better it got. Elderberry wine and elderflower champagne (because it’s quick) were other hederow favourites one of the bonuses of living in the countryside I suppose.
You can use vodka instead of gin some plpoee think it makes a superior drink – I’ll have to sample both again before I give averdict I had a glass of 2007 Sloe Vodka last night a gorgeous shade of purpley-pink and tasted divine!CeliaPS when you decant the liquid, you’re left with sloes which are no longer nasty and sour they are soaked in alcohol and can be stoned and added to trifle or chopped and stired into ice-cream or mixed into chocolate truffles or you get the idea David
