I'll have to give that a try. I've previously just thrown away the sloes
and did wonder at the time if they could be reused - especially with
them being pickled in sugar/alcohol.


I always use them to improve other incoherent^h^h^alcoholic drinks. One
year I had two gallons of incoholic sloes and five gallons of ginger beer.

The result was rather good.
