 An Autumn Essential ...The concensus at our Reigate shop is that if you do nothing else with seasonal fruit in Autumn, you MUST make your Sloe Gin ready for Christmas
Georgina's recipe is very simple ...
- "Use a bottle of gin, not a litre ...
- Wash and prick a pound of sloes,
- Add three to four ounces of sugar.
- We always add a drop of almond essence too, but literally a drop.
- Put everything in a large preserving jar and keep it in your wardrobe with your shoes so that you remember to turn it daily and watch the colour develop into an amazing ruby shade!"
