Last time we tried to make Sloe Gin it was a disaster. Maybe this time will be better. There's huge numbers of Sloes and Bullace out in the hedgerows if you know where to look. We're following this recipe from Sipsmiths, more or less.

1) Ripe sloes. Frozen over night in the freezer
2) Decent or at least good Gin. This time we're using Beefeater.
3) Half fill a bottle with sloes, top up with gin. So I've taken a 1.5L kilner jar added 750ml of Sloes by volume and then added a 75cl bottle of gin.

Leave for 3 months or as long as you can stand it. Strain and filter either with a jam maker's muslin or a coffee filter. Add simple syrup to taste.
