Experiment: Starting KETO Wine (July 5, 2020)

***Sorry!  Thought I posted this a month ago.

It has been a few busy days around the house.  We celebrated Independence Day with a few family members over and hot dogs cooked on the Blackstone.  And we started rewatching John Adams.

Today was more in line with preparedness.  With the news in the headlines, several freshly butchered roosters, and the garden producing veggies faster than we can eat them, we started canning.  The result today was canned chicken broth and canned chicken meat for future meals.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be salsa and squash chow-chow.

While in the homesteading vein, we also cleaned out the freezer to make room for beef from a cow we sent to the butcher.  That meant about 11 lbs of dewberries that needed something done.  So, wine!

11 lbs of frozen dewberries

8 lbs of sugar

The hope is to ferment the wine to as close to zero sugar as possible, then sweeten it with KETO friendly sugars since Stephanie is on that diet.  We shall see how it goes.

With about a month left until we are back to work - barring a cancelation of schools starting up, etc. - I have begun looking at camping possibilities.  We shall see if that comes to fruition.  Things are uncertain as of now.
