Meteor Cherries

[Cindy and Jeff Burich]

Does anyone have experience with making wine from meteor cherries? We have made wine from nanking and northwestern and has won awards for both. Any recipes to share????

[Scott Young]

That would be great. Look forward to seeing the recipe! Thanks!

We have made a sweet peach wine that we have also won an award for that too. I will get Jeff's recipe's out and share what we did. We are on the list waiting for some Colorado Peaches.

Pineapple wine? Interesting. No - I haven't been that adventurous yet. :)

Congrats on the 2 blue ribbons for your cherry wine. Care to share the recipe?

Will be hopefully doing a peach wine, a peach ice wine (from a special order kit) and a raspberry wine as well this summer.

BTW - I had some interest in the peach wine recipe from Raymond Massaccesi's book and will add it to the recipe section.

Thanks! We use that purple recipe book too. We have made cherry wine with nanking cherries and have won 2 blue ribbons at the Central States Fair here in Rapid City, Sd. We may just use that recipe again. Have you ever made pineapple wine? We did just from canned pineapples at Walmart! It turned out fabulous!

Hey Cindy,

Good question. The only cherry recipe that I have is the one I've listed here. I did a quick Google search for "meteor cherries wine recipe" and laughed when my recipe was the first to come up ... :)

These guys came up too http://tinyurl.com/5byf8z but they are a commercial winery. Perhaps they'd like to share their recipe with you ... if they do be sure to share it with the group!
