This recipe was on an allotment Facebook group I was on a few years ago. I saved it as a screenshot, but am now saving to my blog for easier reference.
The recipe presumes you have made Sloe Gin. More recently I have been making Damson Brandy, and this port works just as well if not better with brandied damsons.
500g drained sloes, after straining your sloe gin.
750ml cheap red wine
100g sugar
200ml brandy
Add (return) the sloes to a large preserving jar, together with the red wine and the sugar, seal and shake.
Shake (or stir - one of my cheap preserving jars leaks if upended) the jar every day for 3 weeks to dissolve the sugar.
After 3 weeks add the brandy and shake/stir again, then leave in a dark place for 3 months.
Drain, decant into bottles, and finally discard the sloes.
