FROM BUSH TO JUICE

Today I went with my host grandma, dad and sister picking 'wine berries' from our summer cottage. The berries are not so sweet and not the nicest to be eaten straight off the bush instead they are much nicer when turned into juice. We collected 4 full buckets of the berries from the cottage after which we sailed back home to my host mum who was making the juice. To make the juice you put all the berries straight into a large juice making pot on the stove which you add some sugar and rhubarb in with the berries, before leaving on the stove to boil for 45mins. After boiling you empty the juice that you have made into hot bottles with lids so that the bottles when cooled with the juice inside seal so that the juice stays fresh for a long time. :D We have currently made around 20L of the juice and have around another 10 or 20L to make tomorrow!!!
I shall post pictures of this tomorrow because now I am off to bed.
