Where can I find Sloes?

[Swarm]

Getting them out should be ok, I can cut the top off the bottle after filtering the liquor
( .... could make a humane wasp trap, they die but they die happy)

Boozy chocoltes, now that sounds interesting.

Started picking sloes a couple of days ago. They are certainly not over-ripe, even now. 4kg into the freezer; that would suffice if the birds start on them, but I reckon I will get plenty more before then.

Half the frozen ones will be in demijohns by later tonight.

RAB .... you're back !! Welcome ... from one sinner to another !!

You must be rich if you can fill a demijohn with Gin !! Or have you a secret still and a source for Juniper berries ?

You will find them in hedgerows which have not been cut. Many people prefer to pick them after the first frost. You should still find them out there now - 2013 was a good year for sloes. Cheers!
