What can you do with sloe berries?

I am now the proud owner of 12 jars of sloe jelly:j I just chucked them in a pan and let stew for a while before mashing them up with a potato masher. It would have taken a very long time to !!!!! that many sloes:rotfl:
if anyone tries the sloe pudding recipe off the website let us know - I am not convinced myself!

What does it taste like bellsbells? I have a load of sloes in the freezer, and plenty more to pick.“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0

I usually make sloe gin when I find sloes....
!!!!! them all over, layer in a jar with an equal weight of sugar, pour over a bottle of gin (drink anything that will not fit in the jar!
)
Then you leave them to stand for a couple of months giving the jar a good shake every now and again.... strain out the sloes and put the liquid back in the original gin bottle...
drink as as a liqueur at Christmas (or with lemonade which is how I prefer it!)...0 -
Sloe jelly is quite a tart jam. If you want to keep it for a relish to have with game or meat follow the usual recipe for jelly - a lb of sugar for every pint of juice. If however you want a sweeter jelly add a bit extra sugar. Even with the sugar it still has a bit of an edge to it which I love. I am not too keen on overly sweet jams. I like the idea of sloe and apple cheese donna73 - that might be next weekends challenge!

Hi, I have been reading a recent thread on what you can do with sloe berries and would like to have a go. I think that we have sloes growing on a footpath behind the house and I picked these this afternoon. Are they sloe berries?

They certainly could be, but I'm no expert I'm afraid! (Going to make Sloe Gin?
) 0 -

Cut on in half, and put the tip on your toungue on it, it should be very very sharp and sort of dry tasting.
Good luck0 -
You could make Slider! I tasted this at a local fair recently!
I think it was Cider and Sloes!

Would you make it in the same way as sloe gin except substitute gin for cider I suppose? 0
