Method

  • step 1

    Rinse and pick over the sloes to remove any leaves and stalks, then pat dry. Prick the sloes using a stainless steel fork or cocktail stick, and tip into a 2-litre jar, or divide between two smaller jars.

  • step 2

    Add the sugar and vodka, then seal the jar and shake well. Once a day for seven days, give the jar a good shake. Store the jar in a cool, dark place and leave for two to three months.

  • step 3

    Line a plastic sieve with a square of muslin (or use a coffee filter in a cone for a really refined vodka) and strain the sloe vodka through it. Decant into clean, dry bottles, then seal and label. The sloe vodka is now ready to drink but it'll improve and mature over time – so, if possible, make it one year to drink the next.

Having just tasted first ever batch of elderberry gin, I used alternative to putting in any sugar to begin with. Steep the sloes in spirit for number of preferred months. After steeping... prepare simple syrup of 100ml water to 150g sugar and allow to cool. Add the syrup to taste at end of process

There is way too much sugar in this. Use 250g to 500g sloes. Put the sloes into the freezer first which saves having to prick each one. I shake / turn for 2 weeks. The coffee filter can be too fine, so I use a double layer of fine muslin, held in place around the funnel with an elastic band. I use…

Edit 250g sugar to 1 kg sloes

tip

Don't use expensive vodka or gin, the sloes over power the base flavour anyway, cheapest is as good as any. 250gm of sugar is to much for many, use 150gm if it's not sweet enough you can always add more but you cant take it out! Never throw out the fruit once done, sloe gin jam is divine and easy to…

I’m not being funny but this recipe needs to decide if it’s damson or sloe gin or vodka. Come on, Good Food. Won’t be trying it anytime soon till you get the recipe sorted, though I’m experienced enough to probably work it out.

It's a pretty generic recipe, use gin, vodka or base alcohol (if you have a still, naughty!) and any fruit will work, I make cassis with blackberries and plumb and raspberry vodka, just takes a little imagination.
