    I got mine too early this year ( council cut them down )so put them in the freezer to burst them. I was always taught that sloes were better after a good frost anyway.

    Somehow, my 3 bottles of sloe gin made earlier in the year all 'evaporated' in the bottles ;)

    cough cough hic!


    Wonder if it's too late to make more now in time for Chrimbo??

    :beer: That happened to mine one year :beer: I agree with others, as long as the sloes look good, they'll be fine :beer:

    As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread to keep ideas together.
