I picked and washed then froze the sloes last year
ingredients,makes two gallons.
2kg-ripe sloes.
1lt-strawberry ribena.
2lt-red grape juice.
1.5kg-white sugar.
2tsp-pectic enzyme.
1tsp-ritchies yeast.
1tsp-yeast nutrient.
water.
Method: make a sugar syrup with half of the sugar,then add the frozen sloes to the FV and pour the hot sugar syrup over the sloes cover and leave to cool,when cool add the rest of the ingredients stir then cover,and then stir two times a day for ten days,after one week add the rest of the sugar in a syrup form when cool,after ten days strain and press the pulp and add the fermenting liquid to the DJs top up to the neck with cold tap water,fit the airlocks and fully ferment out.
when fermenting as stopped rack and mature for at least 12 months
with all the
this years they was a very poor crop of sloes.
