I do not mean this as a slam. I have
two black currant bushes in my front flower bed. They produce a couple of
gallons of fruit each. I make some wine at home. I have plums, peaches, apricot,
apples , grapes….Usually I use a gallon jug for wine making if I want to
keep varieties separate. I use the 5 gallon if I am doing “Spring blend”
or” late summer blend”. I wind up with a lot more wine than I am
inclined to drink. This past year I added a vinegar culture to one of the “blends”
just because I had too much wine. It made a lovely fruity vinegar. Fortunately
we also like sushi. 25 feet of Black currants can produce a
lot of juice. Nice jam though.. I make “blend” jams a lot also. Naomi From:
nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Hello, I'm considering planting a 25' row of black currants this spring
to be used primarily for homemade wine. I was wondering if anyone had any
advice as to the best rust-resistant varieties to plant? I have a few
white pines a couple hundred yards away... Do the rust-resistant
cultivars match the old-time varieties in flavor? |
