Wash the sloes and drain well. Score the sloes with a sharp knife and place them in the freezer overnight. Place the sloes in a wide-mouth bottle. Add honey, rum, a slit vanilla pod, orange peel, cinnamon stick, and—if desired—star anise. Let the liqueur steep for 2 months. After this time, strain the sloes if desired and use them as an accompaniment to desserts, cheese, and game ham.
