not especially if youre going sugar free too, sloes, due to their astringency need sugar to make them edible.

They make reasonable leather if you like tarte flavours 50/50 with sweet apples

Well... They're okay in a jelly alongside some apples, maybe mix in rowans too... But I tend to think that most of what you can do with sloes is better done with something else instead, the exception being the liqueurs.
I wonder if a sloe cordial might be good?
