Steamin

[gaudet]

Took the steam juicer out of storage and cleaned the mason jars. I am steaming 18#'s of cranberries this morning. 6#'s seem to fit just fine into the basket. This time I used 2 cups of sugar to sweeten the juice. Need to get the jars sterilized. Juice will be flowing in the next 50 minutes.

18#'s yielded 8 quarts more than enough to make a 6 gallon batch in the future. I decided to use the last batch of pulp and steam some carlos muscadines over it to infuse a muscadine cranberry juice. I hope to get 3-4 quarts of it and will try a 2-3 gallon batch of wine out of that juice.

Final tally of 8 quarts Cranberry
3 quarts Cran Muscadine (muscadine steamed over the cranberry pulp)

Look forward to making more wine in the future with these batches of juice.

My thanks to all on the board who convinced me to get this juicer............ It works great.

Glad you had good results....

That Cranberry/Muscadine sounds interesting...how does the must taste?

When I mix it I will let you know Waldo....................

I just juiced them today, no tasting yet. I've got to bottle a few batches before I can make another.
