The raw black currant mead tastes like really good cranberry sauce.

I've had mead twice. The first time was a very sour blueberry mead that tasted like over-fermented kombucha. The second was a black cherry mead with whisky barrel chunks thrown in and I think some vanilla. It was literally the best alcoholic drink I have ever had. Hands down. Bar none. The absolute best thing I ever drank.

It is, though I forget which variety. Maybe "pixwell?" The wild ones I've seen have thorns on the berries themselves. I don't know that I want to try them that bad πŸ˜…

Gooseberry bush is also looking promising #grownostr #permaculture #foodforest

They're pretty good plain if you like musky and sour things. The few that dried on the bush taste like a better version of a raisin. I'm making a quart of mead with them, and another quart with elderflower. They'll be my first batches of mead, so I have no idea how they will turn out.

Black currants be poppin' on this bush

Haul from the whole patch

I'm gonna make a quart of black currant wild melomel (fruit mead), and see how it turns out.

And no wind. There was wind yesterday.

A lot of these images look ai generated. Are the ai companies training their ai image generators with human verification via captcha now? "Here's a hoof/paw print, what animal does this go to?"

Some of it got really nice this year.

Hello #garlicstr

Unfortunately that's probably also true of giving up processed food, seed oils, excessive grain consumption, soft drinks, etc.

Buckeyes are too sweet for me. Wet -bottom shoo-fly pies are preferable to dry pies, at this point I'd probably rather just have a fruit pie though.
