Cheap Gin?
I always freeze the sloes for a month, so much less hassle than pricking them, we have been late picking them this year, roll on Barton Road as there are some juicy plump Sloes hidden away in a secret corner waiting for me to pick them next month
We still have some Sloe gin from 2005 that I sample occasionally, it is interesting how it changes from year to year and matures with time.
