Blackthorn
📍 Bus Gate, Claydon, Ipswich IP6 0AJ, UK
🗓 Season: September · October · November
🔍 When is it ripe?
Sloe berries: small, round, blue-black with a heavy bloom. Intensely astringent raw — traditionally harvested after the first frost, which breaks down tannins. Best used for sloe gin or jelly. Spiny branches — wear gloves when harvesting.
Particularly good sloes around mid September and later months. Nice, large sloe berries which are perfect for making sloe gin.
