Personally, I will take 95% and cut it with distilled water and suger ,not to much, to give a little sweetness. Then I add what ever fruit I want to the mixture and allow it to sit and get happy together. I have that peach, blueberry and raspberry are all great. The alcohol pulls the flavors and color from the fruit and if you finish of the jar the fruit is not bad either.

Yes it does work, I do not care for them as much as I do the fresh local varities. I have also used frozen fruit with success. Alot of this is about experimenting to determine your likes and dislikes. I suggest picking up some small jelly jars and start mixing some stuff up. Try them when you start to see the color change. You will know when they are ready, take good notes during the curring and amount of fruit you used so that you can duplicate or get as close to that same result as possible.
Most of all have fun.

jeezz I hate this late winter weather hopefully it wont end up like last year where if froze all the buds on the trees and it ended up killing all the fruit except for a few choke cherries it sucked.. but this year even if it happens my rhubarb usually makes it and I will be growing corn so cant wait for this coming up growing season ...........any one have any ideas on some plants that can be grown in the garden but makes excellent alcohol/liquor but can be grown in pa's harsh climate

Slow berries come from the Blackthorn tree which is indiginous to Europe and parts of Asia. It's mostly grown in the British Isles and Ireland. Besides sloe gin, sloe berries are very tonic bitters. They are astringent, and stimulate the metabolism, clean the blood, and are used as a laxative and diuretic. They help with indigestion, eczema, herpes, allergies, colds, catarrh, neurosis, weak heart, kidney stones, skin, bladder, and prostrate problems. They disperse toxins. Having said all that, the only place I know that sells them is: http://www.wildfoods.com/searchresults.cfm Good luck! Let us know how they turn out. Cheers
