made one last batch of 30 bottles - took two quart bags of chocolate habs & congos.....then a mix of all 3 colors that i saved
 
smoked the reds & oranges for a few hours in cherry.....into the pot with the rest, along with cider vinegar, prickly pear, pomegranate, 5 bulbs of smoked garlic and two smoked onions and a good handfull of carrots
 
after blending it also got two bottles of agave and the juice of two lemons
 
 
this one was def. the deepest/most complex of the 4....if it were a scotch, it would be an islay malt for sure
 
 
 
all told, 129 bottles labeled and out the door......plus i filled two grolsch type beer bottles of the blend to hang onto for throughout the year
 
 
 
the wofe can't complain about the garden any more ;)
