the sloe or slow stuff is fine, this is quick and rather good
decent berries, not on a fancy merengue quality but grade 1
put berries in pan with a tiny bit of water and a couple of split vanilla pods, bring to simmer
add enough nice sugar so as it is not too sweet or tart, a few ounces to the pound is probably in the zone
simmer until soft stirring now and again as it progresses
dont overcook it, fallen rather than jam
sieve, cool
use equal volumes of gin and red stuff
store in fridge
dilute to taste with good water
not sure about "a slice" maybe a good orange would be about right
