PASSION FRUIT WINE

Just 4 u

And this doesn't mean what you're thinking ! The Passion Fruit, or Purple
Granadilla, is of the Passifloraceae. The Passiflora, or Passion Flower, is so called
because its several parts symbolise the story of the Passion of Our Lord. Two types
produce edible fruit. P. edulis and P. quadangularis, rather like plums.

Ingredients :
4 lb. passion fruit 1 gallon water
½ lb. barley Yeast and nutrient
3 ½ lb. preserving sugar 1 tablespoon Pectozyme

RED GOOSEBERRY

Just 4 u

Ingredients:
3 lb. white sugar 1 gallon water
4 lb. gooseberries Yeast and nutrient

Method:
Pick the ripe gooseberries on a dry day, choosing large and juicy fruits.

PLUM WINE (or Greengage Wine)

Just 4 u

Ingredients:
4 lb. plums or greengages Yeast
½ lb. barley Yeast nutrient
4 lb. preserving sugar 1 tablespoon Pectozyme
1 gallon water

Method:
Grind the barley in a mincer and cut up the fruit, putting both into a crock.

PEA POD WINE

Just 4 u

Despite its somewhat unattractive and prosaic name (a chance here for someone to
invent a better one!), this is a light, attractive wine which is a great favourite with many
winemakers. Certainly no one can complain that the ingredients are expensive!

Ingredients:
5 lb. pea pods 1 gallon water
3 lb. white sugar Yeast and nutrient

PEACH PERFECTION

Just 4 u

This is a recipe by Mrs. Cherry Leeds, of Twickenham, for a peach wine which is
so superb—and cheap—that we give the fullest possible instructions . . .
It sounds extravagant, but it is not. Keep an eye on the greengrocers and you'll see
that in August (usually about the first fortnight) peaches come right down in price, to 6d.
each or even less. The wine works out at about l/4d. a bottle.
Mrs. Leeds uses a Kitzinger sherry or Tokay yeast.
