I have just bottled up my sloe gin from 2011 and it is superb.  I didn't take the sloes out until yesterday when I was filtering it and I tasted one or two of them.  They were rather nice.  Has anyone ever used these left-over sloes in a Christmas cake or pudding?  I put mine in the compost bin but am wondering whether I could have used them. 

I have also been thinking about making orange gin and would be grateful for a feedback on the likely end result.  Will it be a bit like Cointreau or Grand Marnier?

Silly you !!!!  THey go perfect in cakes - or a nice crumble!

Duke Ellington:
Orange gin takes about three years to mature because you use the peel only.
I haven't made it myself but I am thinking of making rhubarb gin or vodka next year.

Duke :wave:
