My wife just pulled a face.

[Harry mac]

I made some sloe gin the other day and had a bowl full of unused sloes set aside to use when I get another bottle of gin. Wifey just waltzed into the kitchen, saw the bowl and popped one in her mouth thinking they were blueberries. Yes, ladies do spit and swear!

And a fist full of almonds, and maybe a tiny bit of a vanilla pod.

My wife's recipe,

1 bottle of Aldi "Oliver Cromwell" gin approximately £9.65
12oz of granulated white sugar
1lb of "pricked"" sloes
3 cloves
1 stick of cinnamon

Put in 1litre airtight jar and shake once every day for month, then shake occasionally for another 2 months. Decant and filter. Enjoy!

PS put a bottle of cheap red wine over gin soaked sloes, leave for 1 week. Enjoy again!
