          I'm quite adventurous when it comes to ingredients but I think I'll give this one a miss.

                ANYWAY .... back on-topic

                I used the CJJJJJJJJ Berry recipe. I reduced the sugar, but still had a high SG and had to dilute everything to bring it down (lesson learned there).

                At bottling it was pretty harsh and had a powerful strawberry-jam taste and I wasn't expecting a decent wine.

                3 months later, it has mellowed and smoothed out considerably. Still quite jammy, it is now a perfectly drinkable rosé. I'll try another bottle in a couple of months - I expect it to improve some more.

                      Sacrilege!

                      Anyway Pete, I think you are very brave to have given it a go. How many tons of pectolase did you have to use?

                        Just a 1kg tub

                        Seriously, one heaped tsp. Clear as a bell.

                        Yep!

                        I appear to be the ONLY one here stupid enough to try it. I was at the 'if it's in the cupboard, ferment it' stage

                          Err no, I have made a few batches, first gallon was very good early.
                          Second 5 gallon has just been bottled at 12 months, wasn't so good, but, is pleasant now.

                            If you want to make a wine from something unusual, give me a shout I may just have a recipe for it

                            regards

                            How about a recipe for "Sea Buckthorn" Bob ?

                            Apparently I should be able to find some over on the Pevensey Marshes (the Essex salt marshes are a bit far to go ).

                            regards

                              blends well with Parsnip I believe
