Comment on Prices are out of control
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 20 hours agoStarted making my own sloe gin last year, cheapest Aldi gin and then forage for sloes. Fill a large container about half way by volume with the berries and then fill to the top with gin. Seal, turn it to mix a few times and let it sit there for like 3-6 months. Taste and bottle with sugar, quantity depends on how sweet you want it but probably a few hundred g per litre.

It’s a bit early in the year to forage for sloe berries. I picked so much when they were in season that I had pretty much filled a freezer shelf. Buying enough gin at once for all that would cost pushing 3 figures. Even at Aldi prices. But at least it should be comfortably over a years supply of berries so that I can restock when they are in season again.
Building my stockpile of gin so that I can ideally have bottles in rotation, plus it would let the gin age for longer if I have more than a years supply at once. I mean it is gin, it’s not like you go through bottles of it each night.
