Blackthorn aquavit Ingredients

I am an angler in Scandinavia Home

Procedure without liability

1 fl. Stolichnaya Vodka 38 % 300 g sloe / blackthorn Brewing time 4 to 6 months Accessories: 1.5 liter decoction glass with lid The sweetness in the sloe schnapps appears when the berry has been frozen, therefore the birds only eat them when there has been frost. News: In the year 2017 I came 4 pcs. "Plums in Madeira" in the sloe schnapps together with 4 tbsp. of the juice from the plums. Sloe is related to plums. The sloe is also called blackthorn. I can recommend using a Decanting device with electric pump, then you get a crystal clear product that is a pleasure to pour into a glass for one's guests.

Recipe No. 2 Sloe schnapps Sloe bush

Sloe grows in many places in Denmark, mainly in forest edges and scrub, where the soil is moist. The small bluish-black plum-like berries ripen in late October to early November. After nights with frost, they can be picked and used for winemaking or as here spice schnapps. In Denmark the frost comes late, so therefore I pick my berries at the peak of the berries and put them in the freezer for a few nights. Because if you wait too long to pick the berries, the birds will eat them. The berries are pricked with a needle, put in the bottle and poured over with vodka. Place cold and dark and forget for the next 4 to 6 months, after which the berries are removed and the sloe schnapps is filtered. Let the bottle stand for a few more months for the sediment to settle. The color is orange red and the schnapps tastes a little bittersweet. Tip: Clean all the pulp off the seeds and dry them in an oven. Crush the kernels with a hammer, put them in a glass and cover with some of the sloe schnapps. Let it soak for 4 weeks, filter and taste the sloe schnapps with this "essence".
