5. I can't actually drink any more, so I can't 'test' the extracts directly.

(Alcohol is a trigger for gout attacks.) But that raspberry wine does sound yummy. I used to have red and black raspberries, but the reds got entirely overrun by the blacks, and now I only get a few red berries a year, and maybe a double handful of golden a year since the canes I planted there are still in early days. But I got 11 gallons of black raspberries this year. I've still got one gallon of berries in the freezer, but put the other 10 through the food mill to generate 11 quarts of black raspberry juice that I froze. I'm only using one quart for the extracts, so I've still got a heck of a lot left to make jelly with. Not even sure I want to make that much jelly, heh.
