What can you do with sloe berries?

If they are growing on a blackthorn bush (which looks a lot like a hawthorn bush) then they are sloes.

Thanks everyone I have come to the conclusion that they are more than likely sloes but on the off chance hubbie can have first glass of sloe gin if no ill effects Ill bottle it up for everyone else. :rotfl:

They look like sloes to me, if you bite into one it should have a drying effect on your mouth. Much fun if you don't tell your husband this before you pass one to him!! I love sloe gin, and I didn't know there was a thread here on sloes - off to look for that now!!
