Blackthorn or sloes!

Sloe Gin (do it now, decant and use at Christmas)
(Sloe Gin is preferable to a quick half!)

3 lb of sloes
2 lb of sugar
1 bottle of dry gin (Not a dry bottle of gin!)

But into traditional wine-making bottle (forgotten the name)
but prick all the sloes with a fork which is a bit tedious.

Pick up the jar and slosh it around once per week.

Come xmas, and you'll have an orangey-red delight.
