What is a "sloe"?
Sloe is a small, dark purple fruit that belongs to the Prunus family. It is native to Europe and western Asia and is commonly found growing in hedgerows, forests, and mountainous areas. The fruit is known for its sour and slightly bitter taste, making it unsuitable for eating raw. However, it is commonly used in the production of sloe gin and various preserves, jams, and desserts. Sloes are harvested in the autumn, typically after the first frost, and are cherished for their unique flavor and versatility in culinary creations.
Examples
1. I gathered a basket of sloes from the bushes near my house.
