On my Stowupland and Gipping walk on Wednesday I collected a load more sloe berries.
I had about twice as much as last time so had enough for 1L of gin. I bought some on Thursday and left my sloes in the freezer overnight so when they thawed they would be mushy, rather than pricking each one again. I mixed the gin, sloes and 250g of sugar and it just fitted into my 2L kilner jar. I've left it on the kitchen table to remind me to shake it every day. It's looking a good red colour already.
On Friday it will join the other jar in the garage. Something brighten up February in the making, I think
