HOMEMADE FRUIT WINE



Homemade Fruit Wine image

Homemade fruit wine is easier to make than you might think-the main ingredient is time.

Provided by Barbara Pleasant

Categories     Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 -6 pounds fresh fruit (cut into small pieces)
2 pounds sugar
3 quarts water (boiled)
Juice of 1 lemon
6 drops liquid pectic enzyme
1 can frozen white grape juice concentrate (optional)
1 packet wine yeast (champagne or Montrachet strains)

Steps:

  • Place the fruit in a fermentation bag inside a sanitized primary fermenter. Combine the sugar with 2 quarts of the hot water and pour over the fruit. Add the lemon juice, pectic enzyme, and grape juice concentrate (if using), and additional boiled, cooled water to bring the water level up to 1½ gallons. When the temperature cools to 72°F (22°C), test the specific gravity or taste the liquid. It should taste quite sweet, as sweet as light syrup. Sprinkle on the yeast and cover the primary fermenter after providing a way for gases to escape, such as using an airlock or covering the container securely with several folds of cheesecloth or a clean towel.
  • At least once a day for 5 to 6 days, use clean hands to knead the fruit in the fermentation bag and turn it, so a different side floats to the top. The liquid will become cloudy and slightly fizzy; with some fruits, large bubbles form on the top. Taste the liquid just before washing it from your hands. The sugar level should drop noticeably by the fifth day.
