Wonderful post.
I made some "hedgerow wine" one year, mostly because I didn't want to just throw away the pulp after making jelly. It turned out pretty well. I keep meaning to try it again.
I found this post thanks to @bengy who featured you in this week's Pay it Forward Curation Contest. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Googled hedgerow wine, still trying to figure out what hedgerow wine is.
Well, I made hedgerow jelly which is just a combination of whatever I found in the hedges... damsons, blackberries, hawthorn berries, rowan berries, things like that.
As there's always pulp left behind after making jelly, I couldn't stand to waste it. My method was pretty much what yours was though I had to use a rather inelegant plastic milk jug for my bottle. It turned out all right though. :-)
Sounds interesting! Yes the pulp is still alive!
