Sloe jelly recipe: a taste of the wild

Tart, tangy and mysteriously dark - one of the finest jams you can make.

Tangy and warming, your own version of sloe gin can as be tart or sweet as you like it.

Served over ice, this delicious drink is the essence of English summer.

Elderflower champagne is easy to make with no special equipment. Slightly alcoholic, with a beautiful floral flavour.
