Ihave just read on the Plants for a Future site that sloes contain hydrogen cyanide

We have made sloe liqueur for several years now but this year we decided to try one bottle
where we put the sloes into a blender, instead of pricking them.

Will the resultant liqueur be poisonous?


Hi Kath,

I honestly don't know and, as you haven't had a positively reliable
answer, in your position I would go and chat up a friendly local chemist
who *ought* to know. Just a thought.
