>>As for wine, my mom’s side made dago red (homemade Italian wine)<<

My mom used to make “balloon” wine. You get one of those really huge balloons and a big glass jug. Dump in fruit juice, sugar, yeast and secure the balloon on the top. It inflates and when it deflates the wine is done.

However, she didn't like dry wine so she would add a ton more sugar and put the balloon on again. In the end, it was some POTENT stuff.

I was always the one who got to start the siphon tube. Yum!

Never heard of it, lol.

My Mom also made lushalo (sp. it’s something we had on Easter morning. It had eggs, sugar (tons of sugar), cream and other ingredients I can’t recall - one of which was booze). She used to make mine without the booze and probably a couple other ingredients. Maybe someone here knows what I’m talking about even though I got the name/spelling wrong. It’s been a few years since I had it and haven’t been able to find her recipe in all her recipes I’ve poured over. My husband remembers it too but we haven’t been able to find the recipe.
