Prunus Spinosa

This is a Prunus Spinosa, also called Blackthorn or Sloe, in Swedish we call it slånbär. So this is a slånbärsbuske in full bloom.

In the autumn I use the berries to make a really good bitter-sweet liqueur. I collect them after they had their first frost-bite. Then i pinch them with a needle and put them in a yar with alcohol. After some weeks i add sugar - mixed with some water.
