Diving into the wine world….

Wow, those are lots of berries. Which of them do you like? Just curious because a friend told me how hard it is for his berries to reach fermentation.

Blackberries are a favorite. Love them in a pie as well as jelly. Elderberry/ blackberry jelly is delicious and so is grape/elderberry jelly. I’m thinking about trying to turn the ones I have in the freezer into wine but researching and trying to learn more before I jump into that. Wine is a new area for me so a lot to learn. Have no idea yet how they ferment. If that proves to be a pain I’ll just stick with pie.

If you want to make room on the canning shelf, wine can be made with jams and jellies.

I did not know that. I’m betting I’d have some very unhappy people if I start swiping the jam/ jellies for wine.

The friend is right! Poor blackberries.
