Try Sloe Gin As a Present for FriendsI enjoy trying new recipes, especially when the results end up being something I can share with friends or better still, give away as presents for special birthdays or Christmas. I found this how to make sloe gin recipe and it set me off on a new type of recipe – taking cheap bottles of alcohol and transforming them into personal keepsakes that can be drunk steadily over the course of months with friends and relations.
That may seem like a bold claim, but sloe gin is essentially little more than a bottle of cheap gin, a bag of sugar and sloe berries, picked in the wild. If that sounds like fun, you are right, it is not only easy, it becomes something the whole family can join in with.
The hardest part is finding a sloe bush which has not been picked clean by other keen fans of sloe gin! Sometimes you have to reach high up to find the berries as those at shoulder height have been claimed already.
