MARROW WINE
Just 4 u
Although the recipe which advocates filling a marrow with brown sugar to make
Marrow Rum is one which appeals by its novelty I have never yet tasted any made by this
method which has been successful, unless the recipe has been considerably adjusted.
Usually the result is far too sweet. You will find this recipe for Marrow Wine far more
successful:
Ingredients:
5 lb. ripe marrow 2 lemons
3 lb. white sugar (or brown, 1 oz. root ginger
if you wish a rum colour) 2 oranges
Yeast and nutrient 1 gallon water
Method:
Grate the marrow and use the seeds, slice the oranges and lemons, bruise the
ginger, and put all into a jug or crock. Pour over the boiling water and when cool add the
yeast.
