How do you fit whole fruit inside a bottle?
Simple. Apparently....
Watch this video:
Basically it involves the same practice as Vegiforms. Rather than try and get the fruit into the bottle once it's mature, the bottle is placed over the fruit blooms and the fruit grows inside the bottle.
Once the fruit is fully ripened then the bottle can be removed. Then it's just a matter of filling the bottle with your favourite liqueur and storing. And these can be stored for years - the longer the better.

Who's responsible for this...?

We set out 12 bottles in Apple and Asian Pear trees in 2008. One actually survived with an Asian Pear growing to full size in a Gatorade Plastic Bottle. Most of the other 'roasted' their fruit due to over-exposure to a hot summer sun. I shot still photos of the process start to finish if anyone wants to see them.
Next year we will do a bunch more..but will work with 'shaded' areas and All glass bottles for appearance sake. We dip the tops of the finished bottles in 'Makers Mark Wax' to give them a neat appearance.
