Canned 16 Qts of pie filling. The rest headed to the Freezer.

Great yield!

No cherry wine?

I turn my cherries over to my brother for wine, he has a real knack for it. We will have some for the holidays.

It was actually a little less than half of last years crop. We had a late frost, but that's the way it goes.
My wife has a 32 Qt canner, so we were able to do it in one batch, which makes it nice.

Cherry Brandy is a nice Christmas tipple.

Not YET.
I hope to get one set up this winter. I could definitely get into distilling.

Oh, Whiskey is on the list. I do have access to plenty of grain in my area. My grandpa was a bootlegger during prohibition, and kept distilling after. My Dad can remember helping make it. It would be a good family tradition to revive.
