Sloe gin

This sloe gin recipe is so simple, there's no excuse to not make it yourself this year. Although it can be bought in the shops year-round, making your own is easy (not to mention much cheaper – especially if you can forage the sloes yourself). It’ll take a month or two for the berries to release their colour and flavour into the gin, so make a batch now and have it ready for Christmas.
