The trouble is to buy a bottle where I live, which amazingly I can, costs about £20 and even more if I were to buy it online!That was what motivated me to try and make the stuff! I'm going to make a second batch this weekend as I still have some sloes in the freezer. This time I will use chamomile flowers instead of the vanilla pod. It'll be interesting to compare the flavours. Have you tried to make the "cherry wine"?Navashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06759443413326634572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31210585.post-64357151860012175182013-09-19T13:01:02.458+00:002013-09-19T13:01:02.458+00:00Hi Sue (Navas)

They may well do so ''oop north'' on the coast of the Bay of Biscay where it can be appreciably cooler - here, in Castillo de Locubín, where we have loads of cherries, they make a similar drink using cherries and aguardiente (your aniseed flavoured alcohol) and it is known locally as ''cherry wine''<br />Alan (baldilocks)baldilockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549646777340579005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31210585.post-10199358198809178012013-09-16T21:35:41.269+00:002013-09-16T21:35:41.269+00:00Thanks Sue!Thanks Sue!Navashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06759443413326634572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31210585.post-8664722136381140402013-09-16T18:48:21.374+00:002013-09-16T18:48:21.374+00:00Glad you managed to find some sloes - Can't wa...Glad you managed to find some sloes - Can't wait to hear from you how it turns out!
