Sloes
SloesWe usually pick sloes each year for annual Christmas sloe gin, but this year the tree near us is devoid of them. Has anyone seen sloes or is this a general thing this year.
I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: Sloesblackthorn flower very early and if you remember, it was exceptionally cold this spring for a long time so not much insect life during the day - I would not be at all surprised if the fruits are a bit on the low side this year
Re: SloesOh no! Please don't say that! I was hoping to make some gin this year as I didn't last year

I know that they are not ready until they start to fall, about late Oct - Nov, but don't know how well they keep. I imagine they have to be dried a bit to keep well but am not sure. We must pick before the squirrels take them, although they are important for their winter store.

Re: SloesNaveed...do they have squirrels in Pakistan? I didn't think they did.
