[QUOTE="Allen, post: 226236, member: 389"] Hah, it's going to be a while as I'll probably freeze the CCs intended for the hooch. I was adding up the number of big game tags that I, the kids, the GF and her son will have. There's the potential I'll be processing 8 big game animals this fall. Plus, this will be a learning experience. The last couple of years we have used my chokecherries to have a few batches of wine made over at Vintners. Last year cost over $700 for a double batch (60'ish bottles) of CC wine. So this year we are going to try our own luck. Besides, I still have 30-some bottles leftover from last year. Good stuff, but it's really the galpal who leads me to put the beer down and pick up a wine glass. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I prefer to use a tarp on the ground. And yes, I have used buffalo berries to make jelly. Really damn good stuff even if I did have trouble getting it to jell. Best way to pick them is to wait until after the first frost, spread a tarp on the ground and start whacking the branches. Thorny bastards aren't very fun to pick the old fashioned way. [/QUOTE]
