## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much gin and what size kilner jar would 1 bag need**
A: Hi Janet, With the 500g of Sloes i used 2l 45% proof Gin and a 5l Kilner jar (Covered with brown or dark paper, stops the colour turning brown.) and 100g of Sugar. I mix the gin and Sugar and add the Sloes and shake once a week.
After about 6 weeks i stop shaking and leave for another 3/4 weeks to let the liquid settle.
I then sieve the contents through a muslin bag to remove all the sloes and put back into the jar for another week with a taste test, add more sugar if needed.
My final sieve is through Coffee filter bags and you get a lovely clear liquid (you may need about 5 or 6 bags. I usually suck the bags dry before throwing them away.
Try to store you Sloe Gin in a dark coloured bottle.

**Q: do you need to re-hydrate before making Sloe Gin?**
A: I found a recipe that instructed to soak the sloes overnight in boiled (then allowed to cool a little) boiled water.  You do need to add perhaps more sugar than fresh.  Took about 2 months from making to drinking but lovely all the same!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sloe Job!
*by F***X on 21 August 2023*

I have used these berries before and they are just as good as picking them fresh. The key to a good sloe gin is using a top quality gin - after all you get out what you put in! The berries were not on the trees this year as they did not form properly. These packs are just right with any berries that are left over kept in the freezer for next year! Cheers!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for sloe gin
*by A***E on 11 June 2025*

Great for sloe gin

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but gritty
*by S***L on 18 November 2024*

I make my sloe gin from dried sloes every year (works brilliantly) and these do exactly what I need. You just have to wash them very well first as they are very gritty, not so much a problem as a warning!
