There's nothing I can think of that looks like a damson that
doesn't make good jam ;-)


Even sloes make lovely jam - but care is needed: unless you sieve-out
the stones it's like eating rocky caviar, and it can be spoonbendingly
solid.

I prefer to put sloes into gin ;-) and damsons too. Damson gin is good.
As is plum brandy and raspberry vodka.
I had a friend fall over outside after a few raspberry vodkas g


I usually manage to pick around 20 lbs of sloes in a good year, so I can
make as much sloe gi^h^h^h^white rum as I can afford, as much jam as I
need, and still have some in the freezer for contingencies.²³¹

²³¹Usually more sloe rum.
