It’s a bit early in the year to forage for sloe berries. I picked so much when they were in season that I had pretty much filled a freezer shelf. Buying enough gin at once for all that would cost pushing 3 figures. Even at Aldi prices. But at least it should be comfortably over a years supply of berries so that I can restock when they are in season again.

Building my stockpile of gin so that I can ideally have bottles in rotation, plus it would let the gin age for longer if I have more than a years supply at once. I mean it is gin, it’s not like you go through bottles of it each night.
