I saw a recipie for Jolly Rancher Apple Lambic somewhere, Mosher's book maybe?

Was he happy about it? Tomme pretty much racked it up to a learning experience of what not to do!

Here's a link to the recipe: http://www.byo.com/recipe/1330.html

And here's a conversation from another board about it:

QUOTE:

"Anybody ever make that Jolly Rancher Apple Lambic? Can't say that I've had a good lambic that represented the style, but the recipe sounded interesting. I think it's from byo."

"I've made it a few times. Then again, it's my recipe. I also made a Jolly Rancher Watermelon lambic this last year. If you're looking for a good representation of the traditional style, this is not it. But, it's interesting.
