pick sloe's first thing in the morning from waist high to as high as you can reach, the ones below are for the fox's and badgers and the ones above are for the birds,you will need about 1ld. Wash them removing any stray leaves and storks and if you have a freezer place them in there untill frozen, this splits the skins.If like us you dont have a freezer prick each sloe 2 or 3 times, the more you do this the more colour is released and the richer your end product,put the frozen or pricked sloes in a preserve jar, cover with sugar,shaking the sugar to the bottom, then fill with gin.Shake well and set aside.Shake daily for 1 week then every 2 to 3 days after that for 3 months.Decant and enjoy.Sloe's picked in October will be ready for Christmas. ENJOY
