Christmas
Truffles with Twist
Online
gift basket specialists, Ripe Gifts
UK, have announced that they will be featuring SloeMotion.com's
SLOE gin Christmas
truffles in their 2006 Christmas Hamper Collection.
"We
came upon Sloe Gin Christmas truffles during our hunt for new and
original items to feature in our 2006 Christmas
Hamper Collection" said Eddy Harding, Ripe Gifts' Managing
Director. "These Christmas truffles are not only unique, but
received our highest marks for taste - they are absolutely heavenly!"
In
these sloe Christmas truffles, hand-picked wild sloe berries have
been steeped in gin and blended as a truffle with rich dark Belgian
chocolate (minimum 56% cocoa solids). Each Christmas truffle contains
at least 35% fruit, allowing lucky tasters to enjoy the aromatic
flavour of the gin-steeped sloes to the fullest.
For
those of you not familiar with sloes, they are the fruit of the
blackthorn (Prunus spinosa),one of the shrubs that make up Britain's
many ancient hedgerows and thickets. The blackthorn is the last
shrub to bear its fruit each year. Harding adds, "after tasting
these Christmas truffles, we believe that nature has simply saved
the best till last".
Sloe
Gin Christmas truffles feature in three of Ripe Gifts' Christmas
hampers: The
Traditional Christmas, The Christmas
Cornucopia and their spectacular Double
Cornucopia.
