| Many fruits were eaten and seeds from excavations tell us that they also had small apples plums, cherries and sloes. |
|
| With aromas of berry fruit, it is a richly textured, pot-pourri of cassis, sloes, eucalyptus and smoky oak. |
|
| They are called sloes and inside is a fertile seed protected inside a hard stone. |
|
| Made with sloes that the du Toits picked I drank their health as they embark on new adventures. |
|
| However there is a sharp, short, climb for starters and woods with dusky sloes. |
|
| It connected us with a fruity hedge with brambles, rosehips, sloes, and a hundred yards of elders weighed down with berries. |
|
| The hedgerows are rich with fruit, elderberries, blackberries, sloes, hips and damsons. |
|
| However, there appear to be lots of hips on the dog-rose, haws on the whitethorn and sloes on the blackthorn. |
|
| Hedgerows are dripping with fat juicy sloes, the like of which you'll never find in chillier Scotland. |
|
| Felt very country-girl, particularly when we stumbled across some sloes and decided to pick them too to make sloe gin. |
|
| Add the pickled sloes to the cooking juices and warm through. |
|
| Crab apples were used, as were sloes, rose hips and rowan berries. |
|
| The hedges were as yet uncut and were fizzing with little birds, notably bright yellowhammers, and sloes dressed with a dark bloom hung enormous like grapes. |
|
| Good for the birds, and the sloes good for gin, after a frost. |
|
| Boil up the fruit, adding one part of tart apples to two of sloes. |
|
| Crab apples were used as were sloes, rose hips and rowan berries. |
|
| Then there are the sloes and bullaces, almost always to be found in old hedges, which at this season have a misty blue bloom on them, equal to any that we see on the grape. |
|
| Put the sloes in a large, sterilised kilner jar with 110g sugar. |
