So i am thinking about making a small batch of mead to start out with.
Went over to a friends house and she had us sample some of her mead/wine.
Was great stuff and enjoyed our time over there, but some of the recipes call for 23lbs of frozen raspberry's and a couple lbs of honey.
Its great stuff i tell ya, But wow that would be spendy if you had to buy all those raspberry's.
So anyways...I was asking a neighbor about collecting cherry's from her tree if possible this year to make some mead out of them and she was so happy she brought me over 2 quart jars of canned cherries from the tree's in her backyard.
My question here is, Can i make a mead out of 2 quarts of can cherries? She said all she did was can and put a little sugar in them.
What i am looking for a in a mead is where the fruit flavor is very noticeable and the sweetness remains.
Thanks for your help.
