I was playing at preserving from the last week in August to the last week in Sptember with the following results: Jelly: 12 cups wild grape & apple 5 cups elderberry & apple 4 cups haw & sumac 3 cups crabapple 3 cups rose hip & apple (not yet jelled) 2 cups rose hip & sumac (acid fruits: wild grape, elderberry, crabapple, sumac) (pectin fruits: apple, crabapple, sumac: no commercial pectin used) (sumac puckers the mouth and leaves a strong after taste) (past years I only made occassional crabapple jelly. this year was an experiment with different kinds of wild fruits and berries.) Jam: 3 cups apple 3 cups rose hip 3 cups wild grape 1 cup elderberry 1 cup haw (jam was made from content of jelly bag after straining juice) Air Dried: 2 gal sumac berry 3 cups elderberry (approx, not finished drying yet) (sumac herbal tea does not pucker the mouth or leave a strong after taste like sumac jelly. Sumac herbal tea has a mild pleasant taste like rose hip herbal tea.) Wine: 2.5 gal wild grape 2 gal apple 2 gal elderberry 1 qt haw (I make enough to take a glass of wine with the evening meal. The wine ages 3 years or more before consumption. I finished off the last of the 1999 wine in Sept 2003 and started on the 2000 wine.) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |

The fruits were strained separately. The separate juices were put in jars in the 'fridge. The experiments were done by mixing the juices. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
