1 lb sloes
1 lb white sugar
1 75cl bottle of gin.
Pick the sloes late October and it will be ready for Christmas.
Wash the sloes, and prick the skin. I do this the quick way by putting them on a tray and bashing them with a wire brush. Add all the ingredients together, they just about fit in a 1.5 litre bottle, and cap.
Shake the bottle every day until all the sugar has dissolved, then every few days.
Leave for 6 weeks, filter (I use coffee filters) and drink.
I've tried a variation this year, made it today.
12 oz blackberries
8 oz elderberries
12 oz sugar
75cl gin
Make as above, but nothing heeds pricking.
Good luck

Sloe Gin Recipe:
Pick your sloes from blackthorn hedges in October or November when they are most ripe - probably after the first frosts.
Take a litre bottle of gin, and drink half a litre
Cut or prick the sloes and drop into the half-empty bottle so that they displace the remaining gin to near the top.
Add one wine goblet of sugar (approx 150g).
All you have to do now is turn or agitate the bottle daily for a week, then weekly for a month or two ... by which time it will be ready to drink (but it is really best kept until the next winter).
