...or Hawthornberry wine, if you prefer. I finally collected my gallon of hawberries (lots of tramping over fields searching for the Right Kind Of Bush) and prepared a demijohn of wine from them. I used CJJ Berry's recipe (First Steps in Winemaking, ISBN 1-85486-139-5, which can be purchased from Amazon at this link).
It is a dry, pale wine. I am surprised because, when you look at the berries, you'd imagine it was a scarlet drink. In fact the demi-john, after a couple of weeks, looks the colour of marmalade.
