Sloe Gin |

Sloe Gin was originally devised to disguise the defects of poor, tainted distillations. These days, it's a traditional winter warmer and just the thing to bring out at Christmas.
Sloes are the small, hard fruit of the blackthorn - one of the ancestors of the cultivated plum. Julia Brown, a farmer's wife from North Yorkshire, has revived her family tradition of sloe gin making with a bumper crop gathered from the wild . She's gone into business bottling their unique recipe on the farm and also making sloe-gin chocolate as a side-line.
Jill Hopkins joins Julia as they drove across the fields of Manor Farm near Malton to where the production line starts --- in the hedgerows.
