Honey?
by Michelle on Mar 30, 2013

Hi, I was wondering if you could use raw honey for this instead of sugar for this?

    It's best to use the sugar because it is an important part of fermenting. Thanks!

How do I use Wild Cherry Bark?
by Anonymous on Nov 18, 2012

Your video how-to on making your own Cough Syrup using fresh cherries is great! However, I have Wild Cherry Bark and would like to do the same thing. I could be wrong, but I read that the properties in the bark are destroyed if you steep them with boiling water. Do I use this same method above with the Bark? Thank u!

    If at all possible, it is best to make it with the cherries included as they are the most important part of the wine.

Great idea!

I would love to make this wine, but I don't have access to the cherries. (the season has passed here) Can your recipe be made with only the cherry bark?

    You can actually use blueberries as a substitute for the cherries in the recipe, but, as soon as the cherries are available then those would be best! Blueberries will not make as potent of a wine as the wild cherries will but they will work ok.

KUDOS to your shipping department... because it was pouring rain the day that it arrived and the UPS guy left it at the end of the driveway (we have a gate to keep the animals out of the orchard). It was in a plastic bag, but the box was still SOAKING wet. We looked at it and thought, "Well, whatever is inside is going to be completely destroyed." We peeled the box off (yes, peeled!) and you know what? Your shipping department did such a great job packaging everything that everything was completely dry. Even the book was perfectly intact. Yay! =)
