The sugar draws the juice from the cells of the sloes and into the gin because of osmosis. As long as the erythritol/gin solution contains less water than the sloes, the juice will get drawn out and into the gin. Going to try it this year...

Last time I made some (20+ yrs ago) I pricked every sloe.

Nowadays, people just freeze and defrost. MUCH easier! :D
