could you not just eat them sucking out excess gin as you go

My mum made crumble with hers but did say you maybe shouldn't drive after!!! I read a thing once where you should freeze them and add small amounts to pate - put through the mincer with the meat - obviously stoned

I read somewhere about using them in icecream I think (only think mind!) it was on downsizer.net. They also mentioned about adding cider to the sloes to make ?"slider"? may or may not be worth further research!

I put chocolate on mine and they were gorgeous! Had to remember that i had not removed the stones though. I will definitely take the stones out next year before I make the gin.. I don't j=know which i liked the best - the gin or the chocolate covered sloes!! Hic.....;)

I stoned mine and put them in an ice cube tray - poured melted dark choc. on them and they became liqueurs for xmas pressies. seemed to go down well.

stone them (very laborious but worth it) and make sloe gin truffles with the fruit. GORGEOUS :j :j
