Raspberry Wine

 

24c.-50 c. raspberries

1 bag 5lb sugar

1-2 gal. water

3-4 campden tablets

* can also add rhubarb to this

 

OR

for every 2c. of fruit use 1c. sugar

 

I use a big canning pot to make this.

Put raspberries, bag of sugar and warm water.

Stir till sugar is dissolved. Cover. Stir 2 times a day.

In 3-5 days mixture will start to foam;

add crushed camden tablets in a little warm

water and put in pot. All this time, stir everyday.

Wait a day or two and put mixture in cheesecloth bag and

squeeze out the juice.

Fill a gal. jug 3/4 filled and put a airlock on jug.

When there is no more bubbles coming from the airlock;

it is ready to start to siphon it.

I do this a couple of times at least for a couple of months.

Put a regular cap on jug and wait 6 months or more before

drinking it.

To sweeten the wine-- I will do it 2 ways your choice.

Pour wine in a glass and add sweet and low (this dissolves

instantly).

Add as much as you like to your liken.

Or make a sugar syrup. Water and sugar and heat till sugar

is dissolve.

Add to your glass of wine or put in the jug. This is all to

your taste.

Caution: if you put the sugar syrup in the jug; use in 2

weeks.

Or you might have a big surprise in your kitchen.
