Sloes/damsons (slightly OT)

When I were a lad, like, my grandparents would send me out to pick sloes in the hedgerows around the village. It was always cold and miserable and I hated the job. One year, I found what I thought were large sloes and thus filled the basket much quicker. They wouldn't use them but gave them to an uncle who reckoned that they made the best "sloe" gin he'd ever had. They were probably bullaces. I also had to help make the liqueur which was another chore since GF made a dozen bottles and GM mad another dozen that GF didn't kmow about. Each sloe had to be pricked. BTW, they rarely drank it but gave it away as gifts. Graham. |
