RAISIN WINE

Just 4 u

Dried fruits, like grains, are a good standby in the winter months when fruit is not
plentiful. Try this easy raisin wine:

Ingredients:
1 gallon water 2 lb. white sugar
1 lb. raisins Yeast and nutrient

Method:
Chop the raisins and boil them in the water for an hour, adding more water to
restore the volume to the original one gallon. Then rub them through a sieve. Restore
them to the water and dissolve the sugar in it, and when cool add the yeast, in this case
preferably a pre-prepared wine yeast starter but a pinch of dried yeast will do if necessary.
Ferment the liquor on the raisins, and it is preferable to use a wide-mouth bottle. Fit trap,
and rack for the first time as soon as the wine begins to clear. Re-bottle as soon as it
throws a fresh sediment.
