After you've taken them out of the gin put a couple in an ice cube tray, pour on melted fair trade chocolate, then chill. Don't usually like liquers but these were amazing.

Last year I dried some. They're still in a tupperware in the cupboard I'll try them tonight and let you know what they're like on Monday.

OH does not drink.. so seems a shame for all the sloes to end up in booze.... so I make sloe jelly or apple and sloe jam

Thats sounds great, will try that with mine when they are ready.

Crab apple and sloe jelly is very tasty (like jam, but strained) ... think I've go a recipe somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.

I have a handful on my stove as we speak, along with blackberries, nectarine, apple and a plum. Plus some water and a little gin they're going to be a compote.

Well I went to my cupboard... and it turned out the dried sloes were actually.... dried elderberries. Sorry folks. I ate them anyway and don't have a jippy tummy so they must have been okay. They were still quite trong in flavour, you could tell what they were, a little tart though. The texture was good, slightly chewey, they're deffinately a good dried fruit to make.

Thanks guys some great ideas
