Wild Cherry Wine

Picked many varieties of cherries from seven different trees. Mostly the small ‘bird cherries’ that are too sour or bitter to eat. Took a couple of hours and much neck and arm straining to gather 3lbs of cherries. Should be just enough to make a gallon of wine.

Crushed and soaked over night. Removed many stones and added pectin destroying enzyme, citric acid and a Campden tablet this morning. Will add ~225g chopped raisins tonight If I remember to buy some. Tomorrow I’ll strain, add sugar, yeast and nutrient and put into a demijohn to ferment.
