Sloe Gin

Story location: Home / food_and_drink /
21/Sep/2008

This is my first attempt at making Sloe Gin. The units are mixed metric/imperial because I didn't note the weight of the sloes in kg.

  • 2½ pounds Sloes (or sloe/wild plum mixture)
  • 300g white sugar
  • just over a litre of gin.

I made it in a 2½ litre jug which once contained cider. The sloes and sugar nearly filled the jug. I poured in as much gin as I could until it was nearly full.

I must remember to invert the jug a couple of times per day for the first few weeks, then every few days for the next couple of months. It should be ready to drink by Christmas.
