I've got some cranberry "extract". What should I do with it?
I stumbled on about a pint of sugary cranberry "extract" while dehydrating some cranberries today. You halve them, let them sit for 24 hrs in sugar and they leave behind a sweet, thick juice - something I hadn't expected. Now I haven't measured gravity yet, but I know the juice is thick and has at least a cup of table sugar in it. First thing I think of is mixing w/ my 1 gal. experimental batch of peach Apfelwein, but I want to hear other ideas! What do you guys think I should do with this? If it turns out, maybe ill make 5 gallons...
I voted to chug it and go into shock.
Actually I would add it to a juice drink, your coffee, tea, or anything but a beer, cider, or mead.
If you really want something that only your worst friends SHMBO will like, add 1/2 to 1 cup into something that is already too sweet for you.
Had a fun day drinking good beer, so I'm on my "NO FRUIT IN BEER !" kick.

What I would do is use it in the cranberry zinger recipe posted here awhile back (Think it way a BYO recipe)
I plan on making it but will have a hard time getting cranberries.

I like some voted to chugg it straight, thats just a fun time you know, one hell of a sugar buzz a three day coma and a million dallor hospital bill and they start talking to you about removing your Pancris (spelled wrong)... but if you not in for that good of a time and all the needless blood sugar testing and eventually early kidney faliure and years on a dyalisis machience until you die a painful and premature death, if you just cant reconcile yourself with that much fun... then adding it to the peach sounds like it might be interesting... i recently added blue berry to a batch of patctial mash of rolled oats and LME and apple cider, i think it should be interesting... unfortuantly my yeast flamed out because of the multiple rackings to get the oats out so i had to pinch in again when i added the blueberry juice... this is jsut random information i am sharing because i like people to tell me to shut up and in no way has any relvence to your situation. I just spend to much time talking to myself these days and need to seriously get laid... pitty me please
