This is one of the simplest of all recipes for a superb home produced liqueur that is sure to chase away the midwinter blues. The harvest has been particularly bountiful this year and we have been busy trying to gather our winter stores.
You will need
6oz of Sloes (see pictures)
A bottle of Gin
4oz of sugar
A little patience
Method
1. Wash and prick the sloes with a fork place them in a Kilner jar or similar
2. Cover the sloes with the sugar and pour the gin over them
3. Give the bottle a shake and place on a window sill
4. Shake daily for two months
5. Let the brew stand for three weeks then bottle it
6. Let it mature for a couple of months
7. Drink at your leisure
