Take one small small boy, and a big bowl of sloes...
...have small boy wash sloes...
...then have him prick a few...
...get bored, and do some drawing while you do the rest...
...then have small boy plop pricked sloes into bottle of gin (trying to avoid alcoholic inhalation where possible)...
...add sugar, and put in a place where you will remember to shake them daily for a while...
Now, wait a while!
Recipe from here.

There might be, but my money is on nothing beating this!

I never make it to the local hedgerows in time to grab sloes before the rest of the village do. I shall have to plant my own, it's the only way!
The problem with sloe gin is that when you make a good one, you want to share it with people and show off. But then they drink it all and you're left with none for yourself.
Though I like the idea of enlisting a child to help. Pricking all those sloes is a nightmare!
I have never tasted sloes before. Looks really yummy though! Well done small boy for helping! ;) (love the photos)

I would have made some myself but I'm not familiar with Sloes, and wonder if that is what we have here. Are Sloes wild plums?
