A recipe for sloe gin by Jamie Oliver in this weeks FW caught my eye. The recipe is very simple: sloes, gin and caster sugar, but two big spoonfuls of sugar are used per bottle. Teaspoons, tablespoons ? The bottles with sloes, gin and sugar are laid flat and turned every second day (if you can remember, I couldn't) . After two months the gin is sampled and extra sugar is added if required ?
The gin is not racked, so every time you fancy a glass you need to be careful of bits of sloes, leaves etc in your glass !
Can't believe one of Britain's most well known chefs wrote this. Was the recipe taken down over the phone and a bit missed off when he went through a tunnel ?
Or did a FW staffer cobble this up on the way to work ?
