Thanks, I'll try that. I have the 2nd batch cooking right now. I added
all the foam from the first batch to the juice (before I added the
sugar) and brought it to a simmer, covered. All the foam dissolved. I
*just* dumped in the sugar and am rounding up small jars. (I'll never
hear the end of it from Wife if I put jelly in quart jars) :-)

I have 3 1/2 cups of juice left over. Think I'll add that to the mead
I'm gonna start this weekend. Should give it a nice pink color. Or I
guess I could mix it with Sprite and drink it...
