sloe

My heart was full of joy as I strained the sloes after three months of melding with alcohol and brown sugar and bottled my first ever sloe whisky and sloe gin. I LOVE making things. These bottles are now in the cupboard to mature until christmas 2016. The sloes are in the freezer as apparently they can be made into a boozy crumble. Thank you hedgerow.

For years I've wanted to make sloe gin. While collecting sloes near my sisters house in Aylesbury a lady approached and mentioned sloe whisky... I'd picked enough sloes for 2 litres of alcohol, so this was meant to be! Roll on christmas 2016!
