Start with sloe Gin,
i use 1 litre Gin per 1lb sloe to 1/2 lb sugar... shake each day until all sugar gone, then weekly

after min 4 months, i use coffee filters and re bottle the sloe gin, you can add sugar at this point if still not sweet enough.

take used sloes and add 1/2 lb to 2 litres traditional cider..... filter and drink after a month.... SLIDER
take used sloes put .75l Port in 1l bottle, top up with used sloes from gin, leave for min 6 weeks....sloe port

I like sloe gin but I just love sloe wine.  I made it one year, using a recipe from CJJ Berry's 'First Steps in Wine-making' book.

glad to hear it turned out well, I'm gonna try that in a month or so (loads of sloes round here).

Is that a good book in general?   I have had a couple of attempts at various hedgerow wines (goosberry and elderflower, and damson using internet recipes, but both didnt clear (still bottled them, but have yet to taste) so I think I may have missed a step and need to go back to basics.  On this thread, would love the recipe for sloe jelly ( I hate spirits and there are only so many bottles you can give away!!)

I think Berry's book is generally well-regarded, yes.  My sloe wine was crystal clear; just gorgeous - both to look at and to taste!
