Made a very fine one with mulberries and now that blackberries have come in I've got some of that started, too. <BR/><BR/>There's also a recipe in <I>The Gift of Southern Cooking</I> that doesn't involve fermentation. The syrup is cooked and then chilled for two weeks. <BR/><BR/>If you want to make your own seltzer or soda water (the terms are interchangeable) you can get a <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000WU7DS?ie=UTF8&tag=thoabecattmba-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0000WU7DS" REL="nofollow">nice soda siphon</A> from Amazon or at your local kitchen store. They're nice, although the cost compared to cheap seltzer water from the grocery probably nets out even.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928791115924983676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-42753091842619928712007-06-03T14:07:00.000-04:002007-06-03T14:07:00.000-04:00Cream of tartar (in any supermarket's spice area) ...Cream of tartar (in any supermarket's spice area) is a good substitute since it's 50% tartaric acid (and 50% potassium tartarate or something like that).blogagoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359382592912601640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1162597580953905032006-11-03T18:46:00.000-05:002006-11-03T18:46:00.000-05:00Hi anonymous,Of course!

We may just have to go out and find one of those. But what about the bottles? How do you go about replicating those. I guess we'll just have to scour ebay for them, or something. And what about delivery? This is going to make me sound like a real old codger, but when I was a kid we got our milk delivered to our door--in suburban California no less. Hard to believe now. Trust me, that was the only bizarre and totally anachronistic (and oh-so-satisfying) holdover from "the golden years" that was available to us at the time. Everything else couldn't have been any more (post)modern. In fact, sometimes I think I just dreamt that part.aj kinikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961379615390102275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1162437787784384902006-11-01T22:23:00.000-05:002006-11-01T22:23:00.000-05:00i don't know about local soda delivery companies, ...i don't know about local soda delivery companies, but i do know that you can buy a small home soda maker for under $100. it works with a compressed air cartridge, no electricity. you simply order a new CO2 cartridge when you run out and the company delivers it. makes excellent seltzer. the company i bought mine from is called soda club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1160796663304190552006-10-13T23:31:00.000-04:002006-10-13T23:31:00.000-04:00You can also find Tartaric Acid in wine making sto...You can also find Tartaric Acid in wine making stores, it's an on-shelf item.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1160030622409674472006-10-05T02:43:00.000-04:002006-10-05T02:43:00.000-04:00I was thinking of raspberries as well when I read ...I was thinking of raspberries as well when I read your post last nite, this could be cool to serve as a small drink alongside a fruit dessert, I will try and get hold of some tartaric acid and give it a go. I have a soda siphon that I've only used a few times(bought off ebay)it's practically new and I have a bunch of charges also, if you guys are interested I could part with it, I just don't use it that much. Also thanks for the maple syrup got my bottle tonite.Franckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10629648056689401179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1159985300528240792006-10-04T14:08:00.000-04:002006-10-04T14:08:00.000-04:00Franck, I think you could make this will any berry...Franck, I think you could make this will any berry that willingly gives off its juice without cooking. I am thinking of raspberries and strawberries in particular. <BR/>There is a difference between seltzer and the soda siphon, amount of carbonation. From what I understand, the soda siphons have a limited amount of carbonation they can handle, and they loose it over time, whereas seltzer bottles are stronger and keep their fizz. Let me know if you have tried it, and if it works. I am on the hunt for a soda siphon. I will let you know if I find one.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04233787524192046136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056376.post-1159943335593259022006-10-04T02:28:00.000-04:002006-10-04T02:28:00.000-04:00That's very cool, could this work out with other t...That's very cool, could this work out with other types of berries as well? I read up about seltzer sisters in gourmet this month is there much difference between the classic seltzer of yore and using a ISI soda siphon?.Franckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10629648056689401179noreply@blogger.com
