This year's sloe gin under way a bit later than usual. I have had the sloes frozen for 6 months. Not tried making from frozen berries before.
I can just imagine the advert for that, Grandad asleep in his chair drooling…I put a packet of werthers originals in a bottle of vodka. They don't take long to dissolve and it needs a quick shake before serving but it's bloody lovely.
Don't add anything but sometimes do Sloe vodka or sloe Bacardi.Just a question. When I make this I put a little almond essence into it after it's done it's thing and has been filtered. To me it seems to add "something" and is nicer but I know many don't add the essence. Are you an adder or a leaver outerer?
Incidently if you like soaking stuff in booze the other year I put a packet of werthers originals in a bottle of vodka. They don't take long to dissolve and it needs a quick shake before serving but it's bloody lovely.
So young man now we know the truth, I always wondered why you used bungee cords when slinging your hammockI’ve added orange juice to vodka ! Don’t recommend tho as it tastes that good I fell over
In Germany it's called a slemmer topf (spelling ?) a big old stone crock filled with all sorts of fruit and topped off with rum and left in a dark corner for months. The idea was to preserve the fruit but boy the rum used to taste goodI occasionally do a rumtopf which is similar but uses rum, a wider variety of fruit and a lot more sugar.

Yep rumtopf is just a version of the same thing rum being the predominant spirit used. Being a lover of Myers dark rum I was quite into itLadythings grandma was German and called it a rumtoft, no idea of the correct spelling but that's how it sounded, think we might still have one somewhere.

I really hope you’re able to make it down to Wales Mark…it’ll be a right laugh.
She may no get you back in the same condition as when she let you oot….No need for hope this time Mike , I’ve been instructed to go …. I’ll be there
She may not get you back in the same condition as when she let you out….
In that case we’ll just have to try our best…Oh she’s seen me in rough conditions before Mike…. And with me ! Nothing surprises her
