Winners 2006 - Richard & Dinah Bishop Sloe's look like small red grapes or large blueberries and are quite hard with a pip centre. They ripen during the summer and are ready to pick about the time of the first winter frost. They are quite temperamental plants and some years you get loads of Sloe's and others very few. Making Sloe Gin could not be easier, you prick the sloes and add them to a bottle of gin. Add some sugar (not too much) and then let the mix mature over the next few months. Turning the bottles twice a day so that the sloe juice slowly blends with the Gin to make the most delicious and strong winter warmer drink. Some also make Sloe Vodka or my favourite, Sloe Tequila.
