Some may wonder why I measure the gooseberry crop in liters of wine. The fact is that when there is a "harvesting", then we collect the gooseberries in any free container (buckets, baskets, jars), and there is no time to weigh and write down (at the same time we salt cucumbers, pickle tomatoes, fry zucchini, collect and process mushrooms etc.) But in the processing of gooseberries, with such an intensive work of the "apartment mini - cannery", you have to use modern technologies (when you see the hostess cutting off the tails of berries from a whole bucket of gooseberries with scissors, you want to bow low for her zeal and cry from the Russian primitivism).
We turn on the auger nozzle to the meat grinder (they are sold both for electric and ordinary ones and are inexpensive) and fall asleep in handfuls of berries, throwing out only the sick and too many twigs and leaves. Through the mesh, pure (without seeds and peels) juice with pulp goes into one container, and everything else (cake) goes into the other. Add water to the cake - as much as the juice turns out (if the cake is very pressed, then knead it with your hands). Cover (otherwise small midges will appear) and stir occasionally. After three days, we wring out. Liquid - in a bottle, and then according to the usual technology of making wine at home, and cake - to the country. At the dacha, we knead again, fill it with water. Stand a little in the sun (until signs of fermentation appear) and pour it onto the compost heap - well, a very good substrate for the development of microflora is obtained.
But we process the juice with pulp in two ways.
Cold method. In the volume of juice with pulp, dissolve the volume of sugar and pour into clean tanks. Banks must be stored in a cool place (refrigerator, cellar, in winter - balcony, loggia). Dilute with water to taste before use.
Hot method. Dissolve 0.5 volume of sugar in a volume of juice with pulp. Add perfume (orange cut into quarters). Boil for 20 minutes. We take out the odorant. We pour it into cans. Amazing jelly (confiture) turns out. I tried to make champagne from "Black Negus" - it also turns out, and it is slightly pink in color. The only difficulty was in opening the bottles. used plastic containers of 1.5 liters under the container.

Difficult conditions of the competition were set this time. And not because there are no rare plants on my site and there are no big harvests, but because the weather was very extreme last season. And compared to the 2002 season, the harvest was much lower. But three results in the past season, I think, deserve attention. Maybe not all gardeners, but beginners - for sure

How To Choose And Grow Fruitful And Tasty Gooseberry Varieties. Part 1
Although among the people the name "northern grapes" was stuck behind this culture, it seems to me that now gooseberries are less popular with Russian gardeners than currants. Perhaps this is due to the predominance of its prickly varieties so far, picking berries from which is always associated with the risk of scratching your hands. Some people don't like the abundance of seeds in its fruits. The rarer use of gooseberries in our plots also depends on the quite reliable impression tha
Making Homemade Wine From Berries And Fruits
The main and most important rule when making homemade fruit and berry wines ( not tinctures ) lies in the fact that when preparing berries, they cannot be washed, because it is on the surface of their skin that yeast is located, which causes the fermentation process. Accordingly, it is worth making wine only from those berries and fruits that grow in your garden, and in which you are sure ( that they were not sprayed with chemicals, etc. )
