Better half gave me a book for Christmas last year, about moonshiners in Stearns County, MN.

Shared that info with my insurance man, from Holdingford. Told him I figured if I found the right guy in that area, I could find moon. HE said, you want some "applejack"? HE cooks it! Yes, it was good, first moon I ever had....sent me home with some.
