Finally got my first batch of mead on the go and thinking of making some more with sloes??
has anyone tried this?

Prefer it with gin or vodka, the sloes - not the mead!

would it work to use the normal sloe gin recipe substituting honey for the sugar?

(granted, that would not be a 'mead')
 
I've been planning to do that this year to see how it turns out.

Don't forget 1kg sugar equals about 1.25kgs honey though.
 
There is a glut of Damsons near me and I am thinking that I might try to make a melomel with some of them - they should give plenty of Tannins to the brew.
