Thread: Berry time!

  1. #1

    Default Berry time!

    The berries are out here in PA. Mulberries last week, black raspberries this week and blackberries sometime next week.
    I'll tell ya this, I ain't wasting time with no jams or jellies; they're all going into pies.
    Already had a fantastic black raspberry buckle. Just wondering now what to make next. Some sort of wine or brandy, maybe? Do any of those berries make decent alcohol?

    Notice how I betrayed my first statement the second I thought of hooch.

    both mullberries and black raspberries make fine wine and brandy. the wine is easiest, for it's simpliticy.

    I have a few raspberries on my new little plants. Not enough for a pie but enough for hope.
