Advice for making Sloe gin, first attempt ever...
Discussion
Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted previously - I expect it might have been.
I notice that sloes are in season now, after chatting to a mate at work I thought I might have a go at making Sloe gin as it's relatively straightforward (I think).
Sterilised airtight Jars - Check.
Caster Sugar - Check
Base Gin - Advice needed.
Sloe to Gin ratio - Advice needed.
Sugar to Gin ratio - Advice needed.
As you can see it is fairly basic stuff, but I'm a total novice and hoped the PH Foodie collective might have some "trade secrets" they might want to share to make it a success. I'm planning on making 1.5 litres using 3 bottles of base Gin, using 2 bottles for Xmas / New Year and keeping one bottle back for next year.
There is a plethora of advice on google, recipes and methods but as with anything one researches, it's easy to get lost in the volume of info that's out there.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers
Pete
