The Blackthorn that produces the Premier Grand Cru sloes*,
(as tasted on the 2018 Xmas Lights Ride),
has produced a novel effect this year.
Late Summer rain caused the sloes to plump up and split their skins,
which then healed over!
(Apologies some combination of updated W10 and updated Firefox prevents uploading of pictures).
The resultant sloes are (just about) edible, and will be used for Sloe Gin.
Anyone West? I also have access to many standard, but adequate sloes.
