Can you say "Shaken, not stirred?"
Sure you can...
I turn the jars upside down daily. I allow the strawberries to mascerate for a week to 10 days normally. I actually took my first 4 qt. bottles today and removed the fruit. I was amazed, it sdepends upon the fruit but I got almost 3 qts of juice. This batch is amazing sweet with no sugar so far. If you'll allow a quick hijack I'll show you.
This is why you flip 'em or gently shack 'em daily, as the fruit gives up its juices the fruit shrinks, These 2 quarts we completely full of berries last wekend.
See how now there is berry voids starting in the bottom of the jar, it tells you its working. This is how those two quarts ended up or down, depending upon your point of view.
Just flip 'em over. So I ended up with 6 berry qts, and 2 pulp qts. I strained the fruit off the first 4 today.
I am pretty happy so far.
I like your limoncello, I tried making it with Everclear...... it took a real man to drink it....ROFLMAO!
Its looking good. when you strain and add a little sugar, don't go overboard, you can add more, you'll wish you remembered that later.
I am watching now.........
