Drink The Harvest

I have a fairly large garden with quite a bit of fruit and I am always looking for new ways to preserve the food that I harvest.  This book starts out with how to plan a garden, good plants to plant for drink harvest, how to prune trees and equipment needed for processing.  I didn't need most of that section, but it is great for someone starting out.  I was most interested in the juice and cider sections for my purposes.  I was glad to see that making my own juices was very cost effective and fairly simple, for me it was essentially like making jelly without the thickening process.  Anyway, since I am practically drowning in raspberries I tried out the very first recipe, berry juice.  The recipe was simple, but I might play around with the sugar content in the future which is suggested.  I also might try out my food mill instead of cheesecloth next time.  The rest of the juice recipes look delicious and straightforward as well.   I don't know if I'll ever delve into making my own wines and meads, but the recipes are in there.  I've made my own tea's with garden herbs before, but there were some different herbs mentioned in here that I have not tried out before.  

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.  ​
