Sloe gin is a (nearly) always well received gift so make extra if you can. It looks wonderful in a vintage decanter which you can often pick up quite cheaply from the charity shops and it makes a good gift for the hard to buy for person on your Christmas present list.
Here's how we make ours:
Sloe Gin
You'll need:1lb/454gm of washed sloes
4 ozs/112gm of white granulated sugar
75cl of gin
Large sterilised jar
Prick the washed sloes with a fork or something and put in the jar, add sugar and gin. Shake daily but keep the jar out of sunlight. Around Christmas time strain off the liqueur and bottle.
