Bit of an experiment really. After kiljoy mentioned the mason jars on another thread.. I thought.. well? why not just process extra fruit into juice and store it in mason jars for winter wine making?
So last night I boiled up strawberry guavas, on a 1 part fruit to 2 parts water ratio, pressed the fruit dry and ended up with 8 litres of juice from 2.5 kilos of fruit.. I will reboil, can the juice and water bath it for 20 mins.
Am running out of room in the freezer, all my carboys are in use and have dozens of mason jars free at the moment. It's time consuming but at least I'm not buying juice and the fruit is all organic. Does anyone else bother processing juice for later?
