Ah yes, the racoon . . . glad you asked!

HE found a recipe online which appears to have worked reasonably well if last night is any indication. It called for boiling a yellow onion, 1 jalepeno, and 1 T. cayene in 2 liters of water for 20 minutes, straining it, and then spraying it on your fruit. That appears to have done the trick, but I also added an extra hot habnero pepper which is supposed to pack a punch. It easily washes off the fruit too - except that you need to reapply it after rain.

Estote bene, bonum laborem facite, et dicite "Salve!" mihi!
