Sloe gin question

[Poacher]

I've just bottled our Sloe Gin which was jarred last November and there are loads of gin-soaked berries left in the jar.
Would these be OK to use in a clafouti?

Given according to google it should be Black Cherries I imagine it would wonderful. Although you might be refused entry to France for 10 years if anyone finds out.

Despite the sugar content, the sloes are still rather astringent, and for some age-related mental degeneration I'd forgotten about the small stone in each berry, so I've scrubbed that idea. Maybe I'll feed them to the birds as an evil experiment. Not all at once, mind, I'll ration them so there's some left for the badgers!

I use the old sloe gin sloes to make sloe port (sloes, wine and brandy) fantastic stuff.

I'm not sure p!ssed birds or badgers are a good idea....

Obviously you need to destone them, but you can make brownies or chocolate truffles with them....
