Its the end of summer and our zucchini plants have been pretty productive this year. I decided to use a couple of our larger zucchini and try a Spiced Zucchini Wine recipe that my brother sent to me. I made a few changes and decided not to add lemons and oranges for acid because I feel that is a bit too imprecise, and that is the reason my Dandelion Wine turned out so acidic. I will used acid blend instead after measuring the TA%.

I had wanted to make some strawberry wine earlier this summer when I saw them on sale at the local Valley Harvest, but by the time I went to go buy some they were all gone. Today I received some strawberries for free from a family friend, and I will now get to make this wine.

Blackberries are just starting to ripen this year after a colder than normal summer. Went out and picked berries for about 2 hours and ended up with around 27 pounds. I will make a larger batch this year since last years Blackberry Wine turned out pretty well. This year, however, I won’t use my steam juicer and am hoping for more of a blackberry flavor in the final product.
