I already don't know what's in it, few varieties of currants, apricots, now I added red and white grapes and some other things added during last two months I don't remember.

It got this overpowering red colour (probably from the currants) that stains everything so that's the colour it will have at the end, the smell is mostly fruity, little bit too much of a mix of everything.

So half of the jar is done another half is waiting for the fall season fruits.

My garden, granddad's garden, what neighbors gave us...

When you have a tree or berry bush you get lots of fruit to deal with it. So it is the stuff that we got tired to make jams from or the harvest was so small that it didn't make much sense to use it otherwise.

That sounds delightful! I know what you mean about the jams, I get a steady supply of it just because my brother's friend makes it and has so much that he has no idea what to do with it. Maybe I should get him some yeast
