Blackthorn Schnapps

There are many "plums" on the blackthorn or sloe tree (Prunus spinosa) this year.
The sloe berries are very tart, but that changes when the first autumn frost sets in.That hasn't happened yet, but a trip in the freezer works as well.
When frozen they are put in a glass jar and doused in vodka. Steep for a couple of months before filtering, and then the schnapps has to be stored a couple of years before drinking it.

The sloe and the paradise apple schnapps soaking in vodka on my windowsill: 😏🍸
