September 23rd, 2023 by Nate We had a very large plum harvest this year. Even after giving away numerous fresh plums and making lots of plum chips, canned plums, and pflaumenmus, I still had enough to make a new batch of wine.

We have great raspberry crop this year, so wine is on the menu again. I decided to try a batch with a bit more fruit (20 lb instead of the regular 15 lb) since we have so many berries and I won’t be able to freeze them all.

September 21st, 2022 by Nate Although our Italian Plum trees were looking pretty sparse we actually got a decent harvest this year, around 40 pounds total. I decided it was time to make another batch of plum wine.

August 27th, 2022 by Nate I decided to go blackberry picking and make a new batch of wine. After a few hours I had picked the 20 pounds I needed. The berries were the first of the season and not super ripe, but I think they should still give good flavor for the wine.

I decided to make another batch of Apfelwein. I had bought some cheap apple cider when it was on sale a few weeks ago, so I’m now getting around to making the wine.

I needed to clean out my freezer, and had quite a few raspberries. I had a total of 17 pounds of frozen raspberries, collected over the past couple years, which I will use to make this new batch of wine.

August 25th, 2019 by Nate I went out and spent around 3 hours picking blackberries since they are starting to get ripe, and I have now run out of blackberry wine. The berries seemed to be smaller this year, maybe it is a bit early in the season or they didn’t get enough water, so it took a while to get the amount I wanted. I ended up with 20 pounds of fresh blackberries to use for this wine.

Time for more raspberry wine. We have been getting lots of berries this year even though we have fewer plants than we have had in the past. They just continue producing, so I am running out of freezer space for more berries. To make this batch, I used some older frozen berries I had and some of the berries I had already frozen from this year (5 lbs. from 2017, 7 lbs. from 2018, 3 lbs. from 2019).
