Sweetening
Ah, this is an interesting idea, as my pumpkin and cranberry are now off
color, I could sweeten when I open AND add color. hmm. I like this idea.
My Cranberry is ready to drink at Christmas, the Pumpkin could be
spring. Cranberry is a orange/yellow after MLF (I'm guessing) and the
Pumpkin is Mango yellow-ish. They started out the right colors. :*)
But I like the idea of sweetening and coloring upon opening, just
another step, but i'm gonna try it. thanks.
(I follow many threads and learn from you all so much!)
