[...] I’m definitely going to try making some of these hanging decorations (designed by Sania Pell) this year. They’d be lovely on the tree, but would also make extra special gift tags… perhaps tied to a bottle of homemade sloe gin? [...]
To be honest the quantities went to pot a bit, but the recipe was loosely:
1 x litre cheap and nasty gin
350g caster sugar
450g sloes, frozen and bashed to bust the skins
Bung everything in a sterilised jar, shake every day for 2-3 months then strain and bottle.
Mine’s got ages to go til it’s ready yet – I’m shaking it furiously to try and speed up the process a bit!
Great photo!
How do you make your Sloe?
