Thanks for watching everyone! I'll be continuing this series in bits and pieces over the summer; some ingredients are taking a loooong time to arrive as sellers are closed or running at lower capacity. *Full recipe in the description box*
Have you already tried an ume shu (Japanese plum syrup) soda? Maybe not your style? because the syrup takes some time to get the plum flavors out of the plum. But when ready taste very nice in some club soda.
@@ArmandoDy I grew up in Texas and hot Dr Pepper was definitely a thing there. I was never really a fan
I would legit recommend maybe trying out using a Soda Stream for this. Much more convenient and works really well.
I live here near Salisbury, NC... Cheerwine was based off an earlier software drink called Budwine(also called Bludwine), Budwine survived into the 1990s and had more of a black cherry flavor.
@@ArmandoDy Dr. Pepper corporation straight up screwed the town of Dublin, Texas over Pure Cane Sugar Dr. Pepper... Watch the documentary the battle for Dublin Dr Pepper. I won't buy Dr. Pepper ever again.
âThe commenters are SAVAGE!â Aawh poor Glenn!
Screw the commentators, myself included!
I thought the same thing, like Glenn isn't the nicest guy.
When people can anonymously speak, they'll say anything. People are real jerks online.
@@nadtz I think he seems nice enough
@@gusjohnnson9641 Samideano?
I was really happy watching How To Drink when he mentioned he likes watching you as well. Good people.
Glen and How to Drink are my two favorite channels. I'm behind on How to Drink so haven't caught that call out if it was recent.
"Needs more cherry" is the culinary equivalent of "needs more cowbell"
As an avid watcher and someone who wakes up thinking "did Glen post a new video? " don't worry about the comments. You guys do a splendid job!
Andrew Kasper Yes! I watch him almost every time I eat. đ which is yâknow, multiple times a day.
One spice you might want to try is Mahlab, it is a middle eastern cherry pit spice used in baking (especially around Easter). As a professional brewer we use it in a cherry beer I brew and it rounds out the cherry flavor nicely. Also try Dark sweet cherry concentrate blended with Tart Cherry concentrate as a base. Be careful though not all concentrates are created equal and some can have a cooked vegetable flavor if not concentrated properly. As a boy my father use to make Root beer and Cherry soda in the late 70s. He used Hires concentrate and a cherry concentrate (I don't remember the brand) and would bottle condition with yeast to carb. I really enjoy your channel and especially when you cook from from depression era recipes. My grandmother handed me a recipe for boiled icing cake from the 30s. Sounds disgusting but is probably one of the best cakes I ever had.
I will be checking that out
I love how you call out the people who think they know more than anyone else because they read one article with zero sources on some lady's blog. I wish more people openly let those types of people know they are wrong.
Sorry that it bothered you @Holy_Mess - But yeah I get bothered by endless hate emails and comment about something as simple as sugar. It doesn't just stop at emails and comments; people have found my phone number and call relentlessly leaving messages about how I promote the evil sugar and should use 'Natural' cane sugar; not to mention vegans, anti Halal, anti Kosher, anti canned beans, anti you name it who call and leave hate messages about their pet cause. As soon as I block numbers, more pop up.
So yeah, if it seemed to you I got worked up, maybe I did.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Wow. These people need to stop. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. You share these videos as a hobby & many of us are grateful for them as food education/entertainment. Thanks, Glen.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking I get it bothers you, but it made me happy to see you stand up for yourself. You can never please everyone, and doing your own thing is important, especially when faced with negativity. You're so positive in your videos, which is one of the reasons I like watching them.
Never stop doing what makes you happy. No one will stand up for someone giving you hate. They will absolutely be behind you.
Finally someone mentions Cheerwine. I love that stuff.
Was so upset when he said "I think that's grape". Like nooooo its cherry soda. And so amazing.
âthe temperature is warming up outsideâ
montreal: we donât do that here
Yeah we got snow in Detroit.
As I try to get over the recent SNOWFALL last weekend.... May 8th! Ontario! đ€Ż
Dang it I love watching this guy. I don't know what it is. I am a 41 y/o metalhead from Texas. I do love cooking and sub to a few cooking channels. Maybe that is how he became a blip on my radar of recommendations. I think from the Townsends vids I watch. Which is another "away from the norm" one for me. But I love it. Glen is smart and tries things that I don't get to see normally. It is soothing as I could almost fall asleep from it in a really good way. Genius show Glen! Thanks for the entertainment.
Wow...awesome recipe.
Best show on CZcams!!!!
You are one of the COOLEST human beings that there ever has been on this planet! I just love what you do and I am now going to go find any other soda videos you have! Have you ever made soap from scratch (cold process preferably)? I know it's not food, but it seems like it could be up your alley :O) Have a great day! Love your videos.
Now pair this with a smoked meat sandwich!
The pop series is how I found this channel and its my favorite kind of video so Iâm super excited for more coming soon. Also I love Cheerwine too, but itâs a bit hard to find around here.
Thanks for the Wayne's World reference. Love it and the bark... nice it adds that earthy taste that only fresh cherries have.
I appreciate your hard work Glen in all that you do on CZcams for us. I really enjoy this Channel. đ»
I'm thinking that most cherry pop likely includes supporting flavours like vanilla that boost the overall roundness/depth on the tongue while letting the cherry aroma and red colouring tell our brain that it's all about the cherry.
Any chance you could try tackling an orange cream soda this season? That's my favorite classic soda flavor
I'm so glad to see another video in the soda series! These are some of my favorite videos.
Thanks for going back to the pop recipes. I really love those! I enjoy all the other recipes as well.
I love you and your wife. I loved how she comes in at teh end, liek she just got home and is seeign what you are up to. Nice touch. You guys probably throw the best parties with food. I don't think I read the comments on your vids. I just enjoy you and go on with my day. You still have me craving KFC from the 80's.
Its bad enough that companies change recipes, but they continue to change them, making the products cheaper and cheaper to manufacture. I can remember three if not four distinctly different creme centers in Suzy Q's and at least three differnt cake textures.
my new home is in Upstate NY. I need to start watching you guys more! You're gonna be in my growing zone!
I really enjoy the fact that you chronicle the journey, not just the end result once you've figured it all out. I find it more encouraging to just try stuff in my own kitchen.
I need some cherry Coke, right now!!! âPop Shoppeâ drinks were a big part of my childhood, too!
Visited NC about 10 years ago and have been looking forward to having Cheerwine again ever since, cant wait to try making this to see how it compares
I enjoyed the soda video series. I'm glad to see it return.
Gotta say i love these pop videos, gonna start to make my own!
Keep up the amazing work Glen. Love watching you and Jules.
Awesome video! Thanks for making these!!!
NC native here, Cheerwine and Cherry-Lemon are my favorites! So glad you mentioned it!
Always enjoy the process of testing flavorings, and I like the use of an iSi whipper. A little more complex then just adding soda water but not as expensive as kegging.
Here's some savage praise for you... You two are utterly fantastic... :)
It looks so good
I donât even drink soda but I will watch any of your videos regardless of the recipe! Your videos put a smile on my face every time! Sending love your way!đđ
You guys are brilliant!! Keep it up.
I love your soda series, excited for more, i started watching your channel with these
I've missed the soda videos, they are always so good. I hadn't thought to try carbonating in a syphon, because I was worried about gunking up the insides, but great idea to just carbonate in there and pour it out.
You had to love The Pop Shoppe. We knew my grandparents living in London Ontario always had some in stock for us. I love the nostalgia. The Dollar Tree occasionally has some in stock.
Thanks! This gives me some interesting things to think about. Cherry is my favorite fruit, but I've never found a cherry soda that I felt was "just right". I confess, I might try combining these techniques with the addition of artificial cherry flavor; because I really do like that iconic "wild-cherry Lifesavers" taste.
So long as you are not in an area undergoing water-restrictions, it's pretty quick and easy to build a faucet-driven aspirator vacuum pump setup. This really speeds up filtration times and helps you extract as much of the liquid as possible from compotes and infusions like this.
So Cool
Looks divine, thank you for sharing and creating this content. Cheers and have a champion day.
Cherry drinks are absolutely delish đđ» always thought dr pepper was more on the cherry side even though it says fruit flavour on the bottle
Dr Pepper has a combo of fruits - plum/prune, cherry, and I think maybe a bit of eldererry or similar. Definitely prune/cherry, though.
@@EliseLogan Cherry yes, prune no.
www.snopes.com/fact-check/belle-pepper/
Thank you for the great videos!
YES! More pop recipes!!!!!
As its not a citrus fruit, you should be able to boil down the cherry juice and reduce it to create a very thick syrup that way without making the flavour bitter. You can have a much stronger flavour that way.
The fact that you knew Cheerwine just made my day :D
We also have one down here in the Carolinas (though it's a Coke product so I don't think it's limited to just here) called Mr Pibb
According to descriptions it's a "spicy cherry cola"
Personally it tastes akin to Dr Pepper almost? But with a hint of spice and cherry (nowhere near Dr Pepper Cherry though, I'm not a fan of DPC) almost as if you mixed a touch of Cheerwine with Coke and Dr Pepper
I saw the blender, and thought 'Surely, Glenn owns a juicer, right?' and then next thing ya know 'I also have a juicer'. Well played!
doesn't look difficult. I'll try to cook today. thanks for the recipe
Try black pepper with the cherry for depth -it doesnât have to be much. My grandmother used to put a little black pepper in her cherry pies and won in the fair for years with it.
Looks like a fun project.đ
Using the whipped cream canister was a really good trick! I had never thought to do that
cherry is my favorite fruit, cherry soda is my favorite soda. and its my birthday! had a blast watching this
Awesome as always Glen!
I love these pop episodes!
Cheerwine, it's one of the things I miss most about living in North Carolina
That aside about cane sugar made my brain hurt. Not that it's wrong or anything, it's just that you had to say it because people are so ignorant about food.
It's the same with natural flavourings, the molecule is the same either way - it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't..
@@embolobolo4237 that's not necessarily true. A lot of "natural" flavors may be derived from natural sources but they don't have to be derived from the thing that the flavor is supposed to be like. For example, there is a "natural flavoring" castoreum that is used for a vanilla flavoring in some things but is extracted from a beaver's anal gland.
I'm still confused about what he was talking about? What do people think is/about cane sugar?
All sugar is cane sugar where I live, white, brown, raw, powdered, crystallised or liquid.
@@arrgghh1555 a lot of refined sugar comes from beets rather than sugar cane so I thought that might be what he was referring to. I'm not sure what difference it would make if it's refined to that level though...
@@lyetts castoreum is a secretion not a single molecule. My comment is true when you for example look at benzaldehyde - the smell of almond and cherries. There is no difference between synthetic or natural benzaldehyde..
That sounds delicious! We're still having fun making ginger beer! We keep meaning to save some to share with friends...
From South Carolina, can confirm. Cheerwine is amazing
I make mine with wild cherry bark extract in the same method as you used, but I use a base of tart and sweet cherry concentrates. I use Gum Arabic as well as a mouthfeel and head extender. The concentrates are the type made to have water just added to them as a health supplement. Good luck with your recipe!
Pop Shoppe was here in California in the 1970s, but went the way of the Dodo around 1984-ish. I remember going into the store and picking up a plastic crate and then going through the aisles adding different flavors to the crate. Never buy their cola- awful stuff- but the flavors! That and the squat 10oz glass bottles. But you have to admit, Pop Shoppe sure did like their artificial coloring- some of those colors weren't known in nature. I admit, I still pickup a bottle of the lime soda whenever I'm World Market because I liked it so much as a kid- probably because of that radioactive green color.
Another great video, keep up the good work!
I love how you love to play with your food.
I loved the pop shop back home in sudbury ontario. it was great. I would love to try this out. Looks tasty. :)
Greetings from Cheerwine country!
Used the ISI whippers for years at the Evil Green Apron coffee. We actually used the ISI branded soda pop-chargers that were a CO2 canister for our whipped cream.
Love your videos Glen. you do an amazing job just being you and having fun in the kitchen. WE so enjoy your commentary and Love love Jules in the Kitchen with you. Ignore the savage and know there is more positive than not... With your wife the milder is so much better than the thick sweet soda... Have a great day astay safe and healthy... Love from Southern Colorado
Iâm intrigued by your soda series. As a kid I loved Pop Shoppe too; their Lime Rickey was my favourite. I still like pop, but thereâs always so much sugar. Have you thought of trying to make sugar free pops? Thanks again for your fantastic channel. Hope you and Julie stay safe and healthy, and itâs so cute how supportive she is, trying to keep your arm from shaking while you poured the pop đ
Great content as always...!â
I think Cheerwine has just the right amount of cherry flavor, The Hungry Hussey got me hooked on it even though he drinks the diet version.
Ditto everyone else piling on the "savage" comment, Glen:
Your videos are, without hyperbole, my absolute favorite anywhere on the Internet. They're knowledgeable, honest, funny, and heartwarming, and I look forward to "stopping by" every time.
You look like a professor. I like it!
So glad you teach about Phos acid. Many werent aware of that I am so hooked on your soda series! New to your channel, a delight to Stay at Home with atempts to duplicate. Regional variations of ingredients have been a fun challenge (Im not huge Amazon fan) unless just a distributor for smaller sellers. Im (like many) saddened at loss of my local soda manufacturer of past 100+ years, the use of local grown cane, and fruits. if I can duplicate my missing faves?? Youre encouraging -TYVM.
Sugar facts! Thanks, Glen
Yeah! Finally mora soda recipes!!
Loving the recipes/methods in lockdown, thank you all :) Please make Polvorones! Spanish crumbly 'cookies' made with pork lard.
I'd rather have the cherry soda there without the dye. I think it's a nice colour. :D Make some sparkling cherry wine, Glen!
That clear full body laugh during the outro pour was gold! Clearly you knew people were gonna continue commenting on the pour.
I am allergic to Red 40, but I LOVE cherry soda and candy. I'm super excited if you can make a cherry soda that is dye free!
This dude is the nicest person ever
Nice pouring Glen
Yes the pop shop! Southern Ontario!
I've had Cheerwine (oddly enough...I found it a couple times in Lockport, NY!), it's pretty nice.
I would love to see you make loganberry.
I love you guys!!! Add some kitsch to make a really tasteful cherry cocktail!!đđž
I love cherry pop. Just some suggestions based on what I know of drink mixing:
Adding a bit of fresh lime juice can help bring out the cherry flavor more.
I'm wondering if some Vanilla extract would help it taste more like a cherry pop, giving the sweetness more.
You said this was a 4 day process; juice being exposed to air for that long may of dulled the potency. Make sure you're storing your juice in air tight containers.
You could also try making the carbonated water THEN mixing in the cherry juice to help prevent losing so much to foam.
I'm not an expert; these are just some suggestions for anyone who wanted to try themselves or if you wanted to continue to try again off camera with the Mrs.
This [liquid in the bottle Iâm shaking violently in front of my face] is very dangerous. Lolz. Love you glen haha
You're an alchemist. WOW.
Seems healthier than the typical soda as well.
What I love about your pop recipes is the lack of sodium benzoate . Unfortunately, it is a preservative that is in too many things. When I became allergic to it in 1977 it was in sodas and some food items. Now, it's found even in shampoos, as well as liquid medications. When I can make it myself there are no worries. Thanks for all your great recipes. Pat B.
You may need a centrifuge to really separate out the particulates in the juice stock. Love the experimental stuff. đđ
The Pop Shoppe. That brings back memories. I recall really liking some (the pineapple, I think), but it's pretty hazy (my memory, not the pop).
Most companies using sugar in industrial quantitys will still use the solid form.
When you disolve sugar in water you gain a volume of around about 0,6l/kg of sugar.
So 3l of simple sirup will amount to 4kg of weight,
2l of double sirup will amount to 3kg.
Since the transport is limited by the mass, it is more costeffective to get 1 unit of 2500kg sugar compared to 2 units of 2000l (2500kg) of simple sirup.
I know someone who hauls liquid sugar syrup to processing plants, so here maybe it's more common?
many years ago, during the hardships when we had no access even to basic tea, my grandmother made cherry branch 'tea'. basically thin young branches of cherry boiled for 5-7 minutes in a pot and then let steep and cool down to drinking temp. this was ussually done in the season when cherry was dormant not when it was green or flowering. I was a 5-6 y.o. kid back than this is to the best of my recollection. I remember it being a pretty pleasant drink even without addition of sugar. i wonder if you could use it as a base for your cherry soda experiments.
There's a cherry lime soda I can sometimes find (forget the brand) that is that not super sweet but it's also like $3 a 12oz bottle so it's a treat for me, might see what the price averages out to if I try making something like it myself.
I remeber having some super nice pops when I was in Japan, mainly yuzu, sour plum and melon flavored, maybe that would be some nice thing to try? Also, some super low ABV/alcohol free beers would be cool to make
Also, I drink cherry juice straight, no sweetener. Yum!
Love the return of the soda series. For someone who doesn't normally like the artificial cherry flavor, does the homemade version with real fruit taste less like cough syrup?
Glen, i love the soda series. Have you comsidered concentrating the cherry syrup you have so that when you add the water to it it doent water it down? Or pull the cherry flavor out using alcohol then concentrate that?
"More cherry on the nose." Somehow that made be think of Rudolph.
I think I would probably like one of the lighter versions. I've only had cherry pop a few times, and all I remember of it was that it was incredibly sticky sweet, and I gave up after a few sips.
