On my recent trip on a narrowboat hotel through the English countryside, one of my fellow travellers picked sloes by the side of the canal and we made sloe gin. Fill the bottle half full with sloes, cover with sugar, fill to top with gin. Shake a couple of times a day until all the sugar is dissolved and then put the bottle away for a couple of months. Decant and strain into another bottle. It is a dramatic pink and fairly lethal.<br />Due to a lack of sloes in Richmond, I am making cranberry gin instead.<br />xox CamillaCate Fitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835720513248934609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-49066112442627745902010-11-24T19:12:13.448-05:002010-11-24T19:12:13.448-05:00Dear Reggie, That is, the most beautiful radish.

A yellow- orange colored medium size beauty that produced and produced, until this very week. The best tasting tomato in the world.

Excellent question, and a timel...Dear Mr. Darling,<br /><br />Excellent question, and a timely one for me. Not sure if it is considered an heirloom variety, but last week I sampled a fruit I was unaware existed (and I always gave myself credit for having quite a broad knowledge of unusual fruits and vegetables). I would not <br />recommend this jewel-like fruit as an eating fruit, however, but do think it worthy as an excellent acidic component of a salad dressing (just add the tart juice to a little extra virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper and there you have it). Have you ever heard of a Calamondin? This particular fruit came from a work colleague's orchard and I was delighted to have been the recipient of her generosity (a little bag full of the fruits, and some Fuyu Persimmons, were left at my desk). <br /><br />Oh, and I agree, a Watermelon Radish is a delightful vegetable that I love to thinly shave and include in salads when available. The "crunch" reminds me of a Jicama with more of a bite to it. Beautiful photographs Mr. Darling. Thank you for sharing with us.LizaEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324813392045814368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-39029435681849804602010-11-23T11:10:33.667-05:002010-11-23T11:10:33.667-05:00Oh my, what stunning photos.

Last December, actually, and we played a guessing game with it. It is yellow and large like a melon and looks like an octopus.
