General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Have not the time to make jam, and not enough fruit for winemaking to be worthwhile.

Been a bad year for strawberries, only about 20% of usual crop weight. Blossom was scarce, then drought in May, just when fruit need to swell, followed by wet June promoting lot of fruit rot.

So thought I would have a go at doing a Rumtopf.

Will have blackcurrants and plums, otherwise will need to buy maybe peaches or similar.

Have some opened part full bottles of spirits which have sat on kitchen shelf for years, hopefully OK to use these.

Anyone done this?
