Sloe Gin (freezer method)
A convenient method of making this traditional flavoured liqueur.
Ingredients
400g sloes
150 g white granulated sugar
about 500ml cheap gin
Method
Wash and dry the sloes, discarding any bad ones.
Put in the freezer overnight.
Allow to thaw then prick with a fork or needle.
Put the sloes and sugar in a sterilised 1 litre screwtop bottle or wide necked sealable jar, then top up with the gin.
Give it a good shake every few days for a few weeks then leave for several months shaking occasionally.
