You sure you didn't accidentally get your hands on a wild native American grape like Concord?

I've got a recipe around here somewhere -- basically water, lots of brown and white sugar, honey for flavor, yeast -- let it work for a day or so then add raisins to control for secondary fermentation. Supposedly a May Day drink in Finland, according to some of the folks at the Finland booth at Waterloo Village last summer.
It's not really mead, the alcoholic sort -- "near mead" if that. But cold it wasn't half bad, really.
