Hey all,
I wandered over here from the Beer side of the forums.
So my family and I went and picked berries this weekend and picked a gallon of sour pie cherries. This was Saturday, and I made the mistake of rinsing them and laying them out to dry. So I thought. I put them back in the bucket with a paper towel until this morning . . .
Went to make our cherry pie and they smell like vinegar. Perhaps wine, but smell and taste sour. 80% of them are darkish in color and are starting to taste vinegary.
Is there anything I can do with these things? I'm sure it's past the wine/cider point in time? But can I chop them up and let them become vinegar? Or am I just going to make some nasty prison-wine type of thing?
We're only talking ~$15 worth of cherries and we still have the "memories" of picking them in the rain. So it's not a total loss.
