I cooked the sloes until they were mush. I put plenty sugar in. Result is a beautiful ruby coloured clear jelly with a really nice taste ... at first. And then all the moisture is stripped from my mouth and a horrible bitter after taste develops. Pretty much the same reaction as if you put a fresh sloe in your mouth.
Does anyone know why this happened? And if there is anything I can do to rescue the jelly? I don't think more sugar would help.
