Bit of trivia about Sloe Gin - according to my notes, I personally came into contact with nearly 300 people who made sloe gin last year. Suppose the least this means is that lots of people do have a go at it!

Geez.  Imagine the tasting party!

Emaggie - how do you do your figs in brandy?

I just put them in Aldi's Brandy (perfectly ok, no need for best) with sugar as per sloe gin, left them to fester in a dark place for a few months, giving the bottle a shake every now and then, and then I ate 'em. Ooooh I want some now.........
Jeannine I didn't bother to strain mine this time, just poured carefully and it was fine. Beautiful colour ;D

Many thanks, Emaggie - off to buy the brandy now!!!

Strained and tasted mine yesterday, I added a bit more sugar,and popped it back in the big bottle for a while longer,I hope that is OK. It is beautiful.I strained it through paper towel. First time I have made it.
