Maple sloe gin 1 (1)
Featuring Maple Sugar
4 portions

Ingredients

  • 250g maple sugar
  • 500g sloe berries
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1L gin

Method

  1. Pop your sloe berries into the freezer the night before you plan to make your gin. This will help break down the skin, ensuring that the flavourful juice can steep into your gin more easily
  2. Pour all the ingredients in a sterilised glass jar, there should be just enough maple sugar to cover the sloe berries. Close the jar and shake well
  3. You can always taste the gin and add more maple sugar later if you prefer it a little sweeter
  4. Store the gin in a cool and dark place
  5. Give the jar a good shake about twice a week to help the flavours infuse
  6. After four weeks, taste your gin and add more maple sugar if you like
  7. If you want a gin with more depth of flavour, leave the sloes to steep for a couple more weeks
  8. Once the gin is to your liking, strain the liquid through a muslin cloth and pour into a clean bottle
  9. Keep your sloe gin tightly sealed in a cool, dark place before gifting or serving

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
