Uninitialized, no, it's because you have to take your time at it. (It's right there in the name.)

Davy, Livingston, we had a crabapple tree when I was a kid. The only thing I remember them being good for was throwing them at each other.

MoodyChef92025, it's not a matter of over-ripening. Fungus (yeast) in the environment invades the fruit, consumes the sugar, and leaves alcohol behind as a waste product (fermentation).
