Default 'hedgerow' wine - best mix of fruit?

Hi,

I'm from Yorkshire, UK and I make wine from fruits I find in the countryside
around where I live: blackberry, elderberry, plum, damson, pear, apple,
hawthorne, rosehip and sloe.

Last year, I didn't mix the fruits much, a bit of apple in the elderberry
and blackberry but that's about it. This year I'm experimenting with various
mixes, I've got a plum, damson and rosehip, an apple, pear, damson and
blackberry and I'm planning a few mixes with the elderberries. I've picked
loads of fruit this year and I should have enough for about 40 gallons, so I
want to try to make sure that at least some of it is palatable.

I haven't got a clue how these mixes are going to turn out, anyone tried
mixing things up a bit, or any suggestions of what might taste good?

cheers,

Mike
