Sloe Berry Chocolate Vodka
Willie picks sloes in a Somerset orchard and makes sloe berry chocolate vodka, a great after-dinner liqueur or dessert served with a biscuit or a slice of cake.
The Recipe
This makes an unusual and stunning after-dinner liqueur, or you could offer it with a biscuit or slice of cake as dessert. You can serve it cold, but I prefer it gently warmed through. Just stand the bottle in a bowl of hot water for about 5 minutes before pouring into small glasses.

Sloe Berry Chocolate Vodka
This makes an unusual and stunning after-dinner liqueur, or you could offer it with a biscuit or slice of cake as dessert. You can serve it cold, but I prefer it gently warmed through. Just stand the bottle in a bowl of hot water for about 5 minutes before pouring into small glasses.
Makes about 750ml
500ml vodka
250g freshly picked sloes
100g granulated sugar (more if you prefer a sweeter drink)
200g Venezuelan Rio Caribe Superior 72% chocolate, roughly chopped
Place all the ingredients in a stainless steel saucepan. Heat very gently over a really low heat until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is hot, taking care not to let it boil. Carefully pour or spoon into a sterilized, wide-necked glass jar, seal and leave in a cool place for 2 months. Strain, then pour through a sterilized funnel into a sterilized bottle and seal. Always shake the bottle before pouring, as the chocolate tends to settle on the bottom over time.
