I made two, 1 gallon batches because the first fruit I bought was green inside and out. I'm not sure if it was a different type or just not ripe yet. So I decided to continue as planned with the green ones, but also do a batch of the red ones.
I don't have my notes on my, but they are 4 months old now. The green prickley pears have turned into a golden, yellow mead. Unlike everyone else, my red pears have retained a dark pinkish/purple color. I'm not sure why that is. I boiled everything for 40 minutes and I used pectic enzyme. When did you notice significant color change?
I haven't done any taste tests, so I can't comment on that.
