Damson and Sloe Gin

Last year it was a fantastic year for damsons. The trees on he farm were really heavy with fruit. We all set to making jam but really what we wanted to do make some great damson ice cream. We made pure damson ice cream which I must admit was very nice and tasted a bit like black cherry ice cream. However the breakthrough came when one of us suggested making sloe gin ice cream and making a damson ripple. Note the “one of us”. We are all claiming this creation! It is superb!!!

We took our wonderful new creation to the Ludlow Food Festival and it sold out each day. Damson and Sloe Gin was well and truly launched.
