[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 665519, member: 18958"] There are many recipes, all different. It is hard to know how to proceed. I never even heard of a choke cherry. It must be a regional fruit. There is a recipe from Univ of Minn or someplace like that that somebody posted. You boil the fruit on the stem, just covered with water, until the fruit skins pop. (I think the boiling helps kill off the wild yeast that is on the fruit. That is the thing that can go errant.) Then you add yeast. (I bought the champagne yeast because it is supposed to be more powerful than bread yeast.) But this Univ of Minn recipe says you add a package of regular yeast and a dry piece of bread to float on the top. The proportions were 1 qt of fruit covered with water. 4 cups of sugar and 1 packet of yeast You boil the fruit in a non metal or enamelware pot. You store the wine-wannebe in a crock, covered loosely with cheesecloth (I am using a flour sack cloth.) If D H is interested I will look for the recipe. [/QUOTE]
