What are you making and what have you made ???

[goldntroll]

I just started a batch of Kumquat ( 5 gal + must approx 5.5 to 6 gal ) I am trying it as Kumquat only with thinly sliced fruit, my second batch ( 5 gal ) will be the juices only ( I will use my Jack la lane juicer, no pulp and no seeds or rinds ) Only juice extract.

My jumbo black berries did not do so well this year ( to hot... dried the fruit ), but I have peaches, berries from my garden from last year (frozen) fridge broke gotta make before I spoil it all.

maybe mango/peach/kumquat mix this year on a small batch run.

I will try to post the recipe if it works .....if not all you will see is .......YUUUUUUk, phetoui, barf on the updates

havent posted 4 awhile

well sorry about that,,I finished up a smokehouse big enough to hang 150 hog in with space left over so when a buddy got his moose we had to do jerky and ribs ,,that took a week and I salted the hide for 2 weeks stretched it on a 8'x12' frame and started scraping it down so that's good for a 6 pac every night ,,I started 45 gals of blackberry wine the first of Aug and have racked it 3x,,just do a taste and add sugar and let it go back to work,,We cut 3 cords of junk standing pine for the firepit this winter and 1 cord of oak and maple for the shed,, I moved around 6 trailer loads of sandy lome up to the garden and filled in some low spots and deer season started today so im going to be busy till I get my deer,,I realy did not meen to ignore you guys but retirement sucks
