I went foraging at the weekend and came back with 3 pounds of sloes to make sloe gin. I tried some last Christmas and was very taken with it, so thought I'd give it a go.
All the recipes I've seen are very high in sugar (as much as 1:1 sugar to sloes) so I though I would experiment with some of the sloes using sugar-substitute instead.
Has anyone tried it? Does the sugar in the normal recipe contribute other than sweetness - eg extra fermentation? Which sweetener would you use?
Thanks for any advice!
