Autumn is creeping in... time to prepare for winter

Sloes are one of the great forage fruits of late summer and a wonderfully easy way to create a perfect aperitif for the winter.
Pick a quantity of ripe Sloes.  
Freeze for a couple of days to break down then half fill a bottle with the sloes and top up with a good quality Gin. 
 Add sugar to taste after about three months.  Enjoy or give as a gift for christmas
