Any ideas on what to backsweeten a cherry melomel with? I used a can of cherry puree when I made the batch. It fermemted to arid dry and is sitting at 15.5 ABV. It has a gorgeous color but hot as hell. I bottled it because it was my first mead and wasn't thinking ahead (aka learning experience). I don't really have access to cherries other than the super market. I checked online and can only find tart cherry concentrate. I was thinking of maybe a simple sugar syrup and cherry extract for my next batch, or maybe about setting some of the puree aside but would have no idea how much to keep. Was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions.
