Cherry Wine

We are pickin’ and grinning’ !!

North Star cherries make the BEST wine!! While it WASN’T raining, yesterday, we picked and processed 90 pounds, (picture) and then went out again and picked another 30 pounds! That means enough cherries to make 120 bottles of wine. And we are only about halfway through picking, and that doesn't include the cherries picked before yesterday.

After they are picked, we go through and toss the bad ones, then wash and freeze the good ones. This will continue as long as the cherries continue to ripen and we can keep the birds away.
