what would you do with this?

I've got a few ingredents laying around and I want to hustle up a 1 gal batch without going to the brew shop. Here is what Ive got on hand:

1 lb Amber DME
8oz Mexican brown sugar
Nottingham yeast

Various fruits in the freezer; blackberry, raspberry, crab apples, and muscadines. What would you brew if you were me?

I suppose the tannic bitterness of the crabapples could be used to balance the malt/sweetness of the DME, if you wanted to make a braggot (beer cider hybrid). You would need to juice the crabapples and add it to the non hopped beer you made with the DME and brown sugar, then let the Nottingham do its business.

I've never done this, just speculating.

Very good idea, but I have almost exactly the same thing going right now, just one can of FAJC instead of the mex brown sugar. So I want to go with something different.

No hops?

no hops, I really don't care for them much. That is why I make Gruits with herbs.
