I have quite a few sloes and windfall apples (mostly eaters but also some of the yellow crab apples) and wonder what else I can do with them. I have made hedgerow jelly but wonder if there is anything else.
Sorry - can't do sloe gin I'm off the booze since had excessive heart rate probs 3 years ago

You can make apple & sloe jelly if you do not feel like making it now then freeze the sloes until needed they are better with a frost anyway.  Apples I do all sorts of things even make mint Jelly this year I did it with eating apples and no one is complaining.  You could try apple & sage Jelly & even rosemary jelly, it uses up a glut and you don't have to core them all.

Thanks I may well have a go at the apple & sloe jelly if nothing else gets suggested. I don't know what the sloes actual flavour might be as only used it in the hedgerow jelly so far.
I have a larder full of jellies at the moment including rosemary, mint, rose hip & Bramble. Haven't thought about sage - not a herb we use much but I do have a pot of thyme which has a lovely scent and is one of my favourites so maybe I could use that.
Thanks for your suggestion.

I have made Thyme Jelly it is lovely, I give some to my friends and I also sell some at the local car boot, so if you make too much, I would think as sloes are related to damsons that you can make chutney look for a recipe on line, I have made damson chutney and bullace chutney all wild plums so give it a go just remember until sloes have a frost they are bitter so do freeze them first for a bit, good luck.

"Taken in moderation"  sloe wine is a winner.     Takes quite a few years to mature,  Cheers,    Tony.

Thanks Tony - I'm sure it is lovely but see the last bit of my opening post
